Why REE Mining Makes Green Technology Not Very Green

Green technologies such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels depend on rare earth elements, but extracting and processing these materials can create serious environmental and community health risks. Andrew Oliver examines the hidden costs of REE mining and explores how recycling, safer extraction methods, stronger regulation, and Indigenous participation could support a more responsible clean-energy transition.

Clean Energy: Powering a Sustainable Future

The future of our planet depends on the energy we choose today. Fossil fuels — coal, oil, and natural gas — still dominate global power grids, but they come at a cost: rising temperatures, toxic air, poisoned water, and an accelerating climate crisis. The solution? A rapid and just transition to clean energy — and […]
