Ethical Cobalt Crisis
The discussion reveals the dark reality behind cobalt mining, particularly in the DRC, where child labor and exploitation are rampant. Lindsey highlights that there’s no such thing as ethical cobalt, as the majority comes from conflict zones, and companies like Apple and Tesla can't genuinely claim to source it ethically. The smuggling operations from Rwanda further complicate the narrative, allowing countries to present a cleaner image while benefiting from the exploitation beneath the surface.In this clip
