I like how her first example is both untrue and has nothing to do with technology's ability to solve the climate crisis
Clover Hogan@cloverhogan· 25 avr. 2024Take electric vehicles. As demand grows, so does the need for cobalt; 70% of which is mined in the DRC.
This has led to an explosion in human rights abuses; from child labour, to miners being buried alive when tunnels cave in. Workers make as little as £2 per day.

Cell phone and laptop batteries use cobalt, but most electric cars use none.
Those that do use cobalt, use very little, as the cathode is primarily nickel, which performs better and costs less than cobalt.
