Publisher's Summary
In the twentieth century, wealth and power was dictated by access to oil. This century will have different kingmakers, perhaps different wars.
We depend on a handful of metals and rare earths to power our phones and computers. Increasingly, we rely on them to power our cars and our homes. Whoever controls these finite commodities will become rich beyond imagining.
Sanderson journeys to meet the characters, companies, and nations scrambling for the new resources, linking remote mines in the Congo and Chile’s Atacama Desert to giant Chinese battery factories, shadowy commodity traders, secretive billionaires, and a new generation of scientists attempting to solve the dilemma of a "greener" world.

This book covers the topic in a comprehensive and fascinating manner. It’s full of warning and lots of optimism. Many key choices are made by a few key players, but they are bound by the forces of our buying choices. Hence we need to know this stuff, so we can choose wisely.

Exceptionally insightful
I find this an exceptionally insightful book, sharing and deciphering some of the complexity behind the emerging green economy. It should be a real wake-up call for Western Governments that this is not a sector that can be fast tracked by private companies, without support, clarity and investment from Governments.
