Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The resources race is on. Powering our digital lives and green technologies are some of the Earth's most precious metals - but they are running out. And what will happen when they do?The green-tech revolution has been lauded as the silver bullet to a new world. One that is at last free of oil, pollution, shortages, and cross-border tensions. Now updated after several years of research across a dozen countries, this book cuts across conventional green thinking to probe the hidden, dark side of green technology.By breaking free of fossil fuels, we are in fact setting ourselves up for a new dependence - on rare metals such as cobalt, gold, and palladium. They are essential to electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels, our smartphones, computers, tablets, and other everyday connected objects. China has captured the lion's share of the rare metals industry, but consumers know very little about how they are mined and traded, or their environmental, economic, and geopolitical costs.The Rare Metals War is a vital expose of the ticking time-bomb that lies beneath our new technological order. It uncovers the reality of our lavish and ambitious environmental quest that involves risks as formidable as those it seeks to resolve.' T he journalist and filmmaker warns against the optimistic belief that technology is the solution . At a time when many claim to be "citizens of the world" or retreat into naive or hypocritical protectionism, Pitron's book is an attempt to open people's eyes to the consequences of their societal choices and lifestyles.'-Green European Journal'French Writer and analyst Guillaume Pitron warns about growing reliance on rare-earth metals - which are necessary to build high-tech products . He shines a light on "the untold story" of the energy and digital transitions.'-European Scientist' E xposes the dirty underpinnings of clean technologies in a debut that raises valid questions about energy extraction.'-Publishers Weekly Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A gripping new investigation into the underbelly of digital technology, which reveals not only how costly the virtual world is, but how damaging it is to the environment.A simple 'like' sent from our smartphones mobilises what will soon constitute the largest infrastructure built by man. This small notification, crossing the seven operating layers of the Internet, travels around the world, using submarine cables, telephone antennas, and data centres, going as far as the Arctic Circle.It turns out that the 'dematerialised' digital world, essential for communicating, working, and consuming, is much more tangible than we would like to believe. Today, it absorbs 10 per cent of the world's electricity and represents nearly 4 per cent of the planet's carbon dioxide emissions. We are struggling to understand these impacts, as they are obscured to us in the mirage of 'the cloud'.Some telling numbers-If digital technology were a country, it would be the third-highest consumer of electricity behind China and the United States.An email with a large attachment consumes as much energy as a lightbulb left on for one hour.Every year, streaming technology generates as much greenhouse gas as Spain - close to 1 per cent of global emissions.One Google search uses as much electricity as a lightbulb left on for up to two minutes.All of humanity produces five exabytes of data per day, equivalent to what we consumed from the very beginnings of the internet to 2003 - an amount that would fill 10 million Blu-ray discs which, piled up, would be as high as the Eiffel Tower.At a time of the deployment of 5G, connected cars, and artificial intelligence, The Dark Cloud, the result of an investigation carried out over two years on four continents, reveals the anatomy of a technology that is virtual only in name. Under the guise of limiting the impact of humans on the planet, is already asserting itself as one of the major environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.'Guillaume Pitron recalls the origins of digital technology and explains how this new communication tool has catastrophic consequences on our environment . What happens when you send an email? What is the geography of clicks? What ecological and geopolitical challenges do they bring without our knowledge? This is the subject of The Dark Cloud . For two years, the journalist followed, on four continents, the route of our emails, our likes and our vacation photos.'-Margherita Nasi, Le Monde'It reveals the environmental cost of a dematerialised sector. Between the strategies of the giants who keep us in the illusion of a clean Internet and the difficulty of feeling pollution that has no taste or smell, the investigator reveals the underside of the Internet.'-Marina Fabre, NovethicPraise for The Rare Metals War-' E xposes the dirty underpinnings of clean technologies in a debut that raises valid questions about energy extraction.'-Publishers Weekly Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
