"The energy transition is certainly where critical minerals started, but now we're obviously supporting all of the digital technology and the AI infrastructure such as data centers and others…now, there are conversations addressing the minerals required to feed this ginormous population of over 8 billion that we have because that is actually not possible without mining certain minerals that then go into the fertilizers to ensure that we have sufficient yields to feed the population of the planet…There's another factor as well as them being at risk of a supply shock."

There are uses of critical minerals that we may not think about, such as how they are critical to our food supply. Now we have a huge need for them with the rapid expansion of data centers and A.I. as well as the rest of our electronics, appliances, computers, automobiles, weaponry and aircraft. But they are also at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, and the climate. What do we need to know?
