About this listen
In this powerful episode, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked but critical forces shaping global power today—rare earth elements.
From powering smartphones and electric vehicles to enabling advanced military tech and green energy transitions, rare earths are the invisible engines of the modern world. But what happens when one country controls over 70% of the global supply?
🌍 Is China weaponizing its dominance over rare earths?
⚔️ Can the West decouple from this resource dependency?
🔋 Why are these 17 obscure elements suddenly more important than oil?
Join me as we explore:
What rare earth elements actually are and why they matter
How they’ve become a 21st-century geopolitical weapon
The ongoing battle for resource security between China, the U.S., and the EU
Africa’s untapped potential and the new global rare earth rush
What it means for national security, technology, and the balance of power
This is my longest and most in-depth podcast episode to date, packed with research, real-world numbers, and a global perspective on what could be the next great resource war.
