       You and other Climate and Community Project researchers
       published a report arguing that it is possible to decarbonize
       transportation while increasing mobility with less lithium
       extraction. This approach is usually framed as a trilemma, in
       which it is possible to achieve two of three objectives –
       decarbonize, increase transportation and mobility, or reduce
       mining – but never all three. We are often told that because
       climate change is so pressing, decarbonizing as quickly as
       possible must be a priority, and that if the cost is increased
       mining, so be it.
       You argue, however, that there is a way to be Phone Number List

       pragmatic and fair when it comes to
       decarbonizing transportation, which is today the primary source
       of carbon emissions in the United States .. What would that way
       be? The report does not say that a trilemma does not exist, but
       rather that thinking about these three objectives in concert
       allows us to reduce the trade-offs between them. Solutions
       proposed to improve extractive sectors often focus on extraction
       sites. However, in another sense, extraction does not start in
       the mine. The decisions that drive extraction take place much
       further down the supply chain.

       I think of the problems and harms of extraction as products of
       decisions made on Wall Street and in Beijing, in Washington,
       D.C., and in Brussels, where governments, public policies and,
       in theory, democratic majorities have a role in determining the
       future of the energy transition. Likewise, interventions that
       could reduce mining are linked to decisions to take a bus or use
       a car. It might seem that these decisions have no direct
       relationship with what is happening in the Atacama Desert in
       Chile, where a quarter of the world's lithium originates, but
       they do. For a long time, progressive and even radical
       environmental activists presented the future as a binary option:
       we preserve the status quoor we electrify everything and switch
       to renewable energy.
