On Point
On Point brings you ‘Elements of Energy: Mining for a Green Future.’
Get ready to explore minerals that matter with On Point.
In a special weeklong exploration from March 11-15, On Point mines for understanding the essential elements for our clean energy future — the things we need to make the batteries that will power our world and spur the transition away from carbon-spewing fossil fuels. From lithium and copper to cobalt and nickel, these elements tell the story of the challenges posed to reach the U.S.’s clean energy goals. On Point goes deep on the story of each mineral: what it is, how and where to get it, the humanitarian costs, the geo-political challenges, and of course the environmental impact, to understand the whole picture of what it will take to move away from fossil fuels.
- PART ONE: LITHIUM
The story of lithium. We’ll learn why the US has a quarter of the world’s lithium deposits but produces just 3% of the world’s supply, how all that could be about to change, and what that could mean for the community of Kings Mountain, North Carolina. - PART TWO: COPPER
In this episode we hear about copper mining in Panama and South Africa. We find out about the environmental devastation that mining has caused and what can be done to make mining less destructive. - PART THREE: COBALT
The Democratic Republic of Congo has more cobalt deposits than the rest of the word combined. Hundreds of thousands of people, including tens of thousands of children, work in these mines in what is effectively modern day slavery. We hear first-hand from a Congolese woman leading a grassroots movement to reform conditions - PART FOUR: NICKEL
Indonesia now produces more than half of the world’s nickel and hopes to be the Saudi Arabia of clean energy, raising the living standards of tens of millions of its citizens. But can it escape China’s clutches? - PART FIVE: DOMESTIC INDEPENDENCE
The week wraps up by returning to the US to look at the challenges the US faces in boosting domestic mineral production and what it can do to break China’s dominance in the production of battery-grade minerals.
