@noah_gordon_ It's possible for democracies to friendshore critical mineral supplies, but it would take an unprecedented mining buildout to achieve 2030 targets. We also need technology (sodium batteries) and new approaches (bikes instead of giant EVs)

[Noah Gordon @noah_gordon_]

Here's the key graph. Even if mining scaled up as fast as during the last commodity supercycle (1995–2010, driven by Chinese demand), there would be shortfalls:

Friendshoring Critical Minerals: timely study highlighting the importance of political stability and more ambitious policy proposals to reduce the need for battery metals and lower demand for solar panels and turbines through reduced electricity demand. https://t.co/4ZbGIRh3So

Every architect and public servant should read this magnificent piece by @GabrielleHecht 👏https://t.co/yEYLL9c7Gt

[Christopher Tounsel @ctounsel1]

Congratulations @GabrielleHecht on receiving a Guggenheim fellowship! 👏🏿

In addition to being a kind person, her research explores radioactive residues, mine waste, air pollution, and the Anthropocene in Africa.

A touching tribute. Thank you @KateRaworth for sharing ♥️🌳

I’m shocked and devastated to hear that the brilliant climate scientist Will Steffen has died. I am deeply grateful to him for so many things - so here is a thread of 5 thank yous (and please feel welcome to add more).

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

@MazzucatoM & also use less of everything

@dobraszczyk It is indeed long and sometimes didactic! But also wondrous, if painfully sad, if you’re mostly in it for the trees.

@dobraszczyk Acanthus leaves are widely used in architecture - 51 architecture’s new swift and bat column takes the rotational whorls of the acanthus flower as inspiration to provide individual nesting chambers for migratory birds in serious decline #architectureforotherspecies @habi_sabi

@ollywainwright A sad reflection on urban priorities when windows have to be sealed shut because it’s too noisy and toxic outside
