Let’s talk about EVs: Its time for truth. Not more “Green Dream” lie’s
Comment: I came across this tweet from John Lee Pettimore and thought it was well worth sharing. The following is what he lists as his background/credentials: Mining Mechanic. UG. OP. 3X Red Seal. Mine Rescue. CAF Vet. From the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan to the bitter cold of the Yukon.
A couple of facts about the cobalt production in the Congo
Southern Congo sits atop an estimated 3.4 million metric tons of cobalt, almost half the world’s known supply.
As of last year, 15 of the 19 cobalt-producing mines in Congo were owned or financed by Chinese companies, according to a data analysis by The Times and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. The biggest alternative to Chinese operators is Glencore, a Switzerland-based company that runs two of the largest cobalt mines there.
