我们生活在一个矿产资源陷入僵局的时代。太阳能电池板、风力涡轮机和电动汽车电池等关键绿色技术需要越来越多的金属，如锂、铜、镍、钴、锰和稀土元素。然而，现任美国政府却陷入了困境。气候运动是乔·拜登总统基本盘的核心部分，它需要清洁能源和电动汽车。但它不希望开采所需的矿物——当然不是在离家很近的地方。
We are living in a time of a mineral impasse. Crucial green technologies, including solar panels, wind turbines and electric-vehicle batteries, require increasing amounts of metals, such as lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, manganese and rare-earth elements.Yet the current US administration is in a bind. The climate movement, a core part of President Joe Biden’s base, wants clean energy and electric cars. But it doesn’t want mining of the minerals required—certainly not close to home.
