Our take
AI-draftedScheyder, a Reuters energy correspondent, built this book by physically visiting the mining sites at the center of America's clean-energy supply chain fights, from Nevada lithium deposits to proposed copper and nickel projects. What reviewers have praised most is his refusal to pick a side in the broader debate over whether the energy transition justifies more domestic mining.
