“Just to meet business-as-usual trends, 115% more copper must be mined in the next 30 years than has been mined historically until now with electrifying the global vehicle fleet requiring 55% more new mines than would otherwise be needed”.


All well and good you might think, but the vast expansion of renewables and and associated infrastructure makes this 115% insignificant, even if it was achievable!


“Supply chain problems”?


This makes Miiliband & Co’s aspirations even more delusional.


This is not some academic, or off the wall ‘think tanks’
