Author Interview: Looking at the Impact of the Critical Minerals, in Nevada and Beyond

  • Resumen

  • A new battleground is forming in the state of Nevada, where an influx of federal funding and state-level tax incentives are seeking to kickstart a critical mineral economy necessary to support the renewable energy transition. But while critical minerals provide foundational components to all of our electronic devices - from everyday technologies like cell phones and laptops, to renewable energy technologies like wind turbines and electric vehicle batteries - extracting them from the ground does not come without its costs.

    Sierra Nevada Ally’s science and technology reporter, Scott King recently spoke with Ernest Scheyder, author of The War Below: Lithium, Copper and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives, about what the critical mineral economy means to the everyday Nevadan.
