Good article on the challenges of "going green" and the geopolitical ramifications of it. Yes, I know it's from a mining publication, but they'd know better than most the challenges of getting raw materials.

Think about it. Without a workable plan to transition from fossil fuels to renewables, one that does not involve natural gas shipments from Russia, burning coal, or buying petroleum products from Saudi Arabia (like Canada and Japan), and without a concerted push to mine and explore for minerals within its own borders, the West is literally giving away its energy security to two countries: China and Russia.
They must be laughing at our stupidity.
