Have a question for our May speaker for the CCL call, Dr. Adam Simon? Join us for an extended Q&A to explore your questions further on the topic of transitioning away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy with regards to the massive amounts of metals that go into the production of electric vehicles, batteries, induction stoves, wind turbines and solar panels. Do enough of these metals exist to get the job done? Where can they be found and can they be extracted in a sustainable manner that doesn't lay waste to our environment?
