Greenland says no to rare earths mining project
We ask what this means for the security of the global supply of rare minerals.
Voters in Greenland have backed a party which opposes a rare earth mining project. On Business Weekly, we ask what this means for the security of the global supply of rare minerals and hear why this project was so controversial. From the ice to the ocean, where the race is on for extracting minerals. But environmentalists are concerned that deep sea mining could hurt the world鈥檚 oceans, even if they are mined with other environmental goals in mind. You may have heard of the term non-fungible token, but do you know what they are and how they work? We look at whether they are just another crypto craze or an amazing financial opportunity for digital artists. Plus, how to learn the art of complaining. The show is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
