Description:
The resources race is on. Powering our digital lives and green technologies are some of the Earth's most precious metals - but they are running out. And what will happen when they do? The green-tech revolution will reduce our dependency on nuclear power, coal, and oil, heralding a new era free of pollution, fossil-fuel shortages, and crossborder tensions. But there is a hidden dark side to this seemingly utopian vision.

Reviews
A potent reminder of those things we take for granted: rare metals inside our technology. And a rare insight into both the environmental destruction associated with their retrieval and the geo-politics which have led the western world to grant China a near monopoly on global sales. Certainly a recommended read for anyone interested in a sustainable planet.
