"Material World. A substantial story of our past and future" by Ed Conway.
What a good book. Sky News journalist Ed Conway writes about six materials which determine the faith of humanity: sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium. Makes you marvel at human engineering and aware about our dependency on them and the environmental damage their exploiting brings to earth

米国 : 湖底のリチウム鉱脈で充電池原料を自給？

Lithium Valley (Big Picture Science)

Big Picture Scienceポッドキャストの「Lithium Vally」というエビソード。スマホ、ラップトップ、EV、太陽光発電などに必要な充電池に欠かせないリチウム採掘の話。カリフォルニア州のソルトン湖底に、世界のリチウムの40％近い鉱脈がある。採掘が軌道に乗れば国内需要を充足できる。環境保護と資源開発の折り合いをつけるのがこれからの課題。

ゲストは英TImes紙のコラムニストで、「Material World : THE SIX RAW MATERIALS THAT SHAPE MODERN CIVILIZATION」という著書で、世界文明を形成してきた6つの物質（sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium）という切り口からまとめた エド・コンウェイ(Ed Conway)氏。
