Episode notes
Behind every battery lies a complex web of minerals, mining, and global politics. In Part 1 of this two-part discussion, Elisa is joined by Mark Mills, founder and executive director of the National Center for Energy Analytics, to explore how—and why—America’s mining and processing capabilities have fallen behind. Together, they break down which minerals matter most, who controls the global supply chains, and whether the U.S. can rethink decades of regulation to catch up.
