The Third Digital War: Energy and Rare Metals
By freeing ourselves from traditional fuels, we are actually falling into a new dependency — a dependency on rare metals. Graphite, cobalt, indium, platinum group metals, tungsten, rare earth elements — these resources have become essential for our new ecological and digital society; they are found in electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, as well as in our smartphones, computers, and other Internet-connected devices. However, the environmental, economic, and geopolitical costs of this dependency may turn out to be even more significant than those that tie us to oil.
