‘Recognising that the latest technologies might not be as green as we like to think is a good place to start planning for a better world.’
‘Recognising that the latest technologies might not be as green as we like to think is a good place to start planning for a better world.’
‘[T]he journalist and filmmaker warns against the optimistic belief that technology is the solution … At a time when many claim to be “citizens of the world” or retreat into naive or hypocritical protectionism, Pitron’s book is an attempt to open people’s eyes to the consequences of their societal choices and lifestyles.’
‘Both novel and eye opening … The Rare Metals War is worth the read.’
‘French Writer and analyst Guillaume Pitron warns about growing reliance on rare-earth metal — which are necessary to build high-tech products … He shines a light on “the untold story” of the energy and digital transitions.’
‘An expert account of a poorly understood but critical element in our economy.’
‘[E]xposes the dirty underpinnings of clean technologies in a debut that raises valid questions about energy extraction.’
‘The Rare Metals War is Guillaume Pitron’s urgent exposé of the race for resources and an examination of its environmental and human impacts.’
