To transition to clean energy and green technology like electric cars, the world needs massive amounts of essential minerals. Environmental peacemaker Saleem Ali explains the conflicts already arising between countries rushing to mine and extract these precious minerals — and shows how the world can find a way to cooperate rather than fight resource wars.

FOSSIL FUEL IS THE WAY!!! “Drill baby drill”

Wrong again trumpy. fossil fuels are finite resources, if we keep using them it will run out because there’s limited amount of prehistoric fossil available. The only way for fossil fuel to be sustainable is that if it’s renewable which is not because it takes million of years to form. Learn science not conservative nonsense

Im surprised that solar energy uses more steel than wind energy. How?

It doesn’t

Well I would think that it is requieres more machines made of steel to create the filaments in the solar panels than it is nesesary in the machines to create the wind mills, still is very confusing but I think that panels are more complex than mills

Windmills are not in fact mostly made of steel like you image, but different materials.

We talk a lot about clean energy but disregard the usage of that “clean” energy. What’s the point struggling with the production of “clean” energy if that same energy is used to manufacture more useless trash that will have a very short lifespan and will end up littering our planet as always? This is schizophrenia. Our frantic consumerism trying to be ecofriendly. KAFKAESQUE.

The proposal for a ‘mineral trust’ model is a fascinating approach to managing the resources needed for green energy. It’s encouraging to see such forward-thinking solutions being discussed!

Anyone who thinks that the US imperialist mafia would not exert force or coercion over this “non-political” governing body has quite a few screws loose in his head.

This is nothing more and nothing less than proposal of creating undemocratic, totalitarian regime over the world. Most of the evil is caused with good intentions.
