How does the environmental impact of mining for clean …
Odell believes that the way forward for clean energy mining is through three main changes. The first is to reduce consumption so we need fewer materials in the first place, such as by investing in more public transportation and walkable cities, which would reduce the need for mineral-intensive EVs. The second is to advance the circular …
