Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels requires us to develop new sources of energy. While solar, wind, lithium batteries and other energy sources are often described as “clean” energy, they are not as clean as you might think.

Joining me to explain why this should be a concern to every one is Vince Beiser. He is an award-winning journalist who has written for Wired, Harper’s, The Atlantic, and the New York Times and he is author of the book, Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future (https://amzn.to/3Vqw42v).
