But consumers know very little about how they are mined and traded, or the environmental, economic, and geopolitical costs of this dependence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book reveals the dark side of the world that awaits us. It is an undercover tale of a technological odyssey that has promised much, and a look behind the scenes. Behind it all lurks China, which has captured the lion's share of the ownership and processing of rare metals we now can't do without. Drawing on six years of research across a dozen countries, this book shows that by breaking free of fossil fuels, we are in fact setting ourselves up for a new dependence--on rare metals that have become vital to our new ecological and digital society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 06, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44792936267878,"sku":"9781950354313","price":27.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/N2pqRWpJVFR5Z2IwWld3T3kyd0g5UT09.webp?v=1771095037","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-rare-metals-war-the-dark-side-of-clean-energy-and-digital-technologies-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
