Just Have a Think - Have we got enough minerals? 02072023

Will batteries for hundreds of millions of future electric vehicles rob the planet of all its precious minerals? And what about all the minerals and materials for billions of wind turbines and solar panels? Can our planet really cope with the transition away from fossil fuels and will that transition really be 'sustainable'?

WSJ - Why Copper Is Now One of the World's Most In-Demand Metals 07062023

Copper demand has skyrocketed as the push for electrification of vehicles and energy sources continue to take over. The non-precious metal is important in the shift away from fossil fuels as it is critical for EVs, windmills, solar panels and even the entire power grid.

Fully Charged Show - MASSIVE Storage. THIS is How To Power the Grid With 100% Renewable Energy! 23052023

Big batteries are perhaps the key to making a completely renewably powered grid possible. Imogen visited Europe's largest battery energy storage system, Pillswood in Hull to find out how Harmony Energy is getting as much clean energy from Dogger Bank, the world's biggest wind farm, onshore and into our homes. But these are no ordinary batteries, at 200 MWh these Tesla Megapacks are decked out with Artificial Intelligence, these are working to make the grid both renewable and flexible.

To what extent do you think the industry properly considers renewable energy at the design stage of a project and how can this be influenced?
