Throughout the world, supplies of metal sit atop land considered sacred, or too special, or too ecologically sensitive to disturb. Whether these lands should be dug up in an attempt to defuse climate change is one of the defining questions of our time.

Introduction
If we have a future on this planet, our lives will no longer be powered by fossil fuels.
But for us to have electric vehicles, solar panels, and other battery-powered devices, our world will have to shift towards a mineral-based economy — an economy dependent on heavy mining and difficult environmental and political decisions.
Ernest Scheyder is a journalist known for covering the shale oil revolution and the green energy transition for Reuters.
In his 2024 book, The War Below, Scheyder explores the tensions between the mining industry, environmental activists, and local communities in the shift towards clean energy.
