Over the last few years, former White House chef Sam Cass has been hosting meals that he calls last suppers on the menu, ingredients that are at risk because of climate change.
I hope it's not that people feel guilty or depressed.
My hope is that we understand what.
The stake is really like fully our.
Way of life, the future of food.
That's on the Ted radio hour from NPR.
This is planet money from NPrdez, Keith Romer, Sally Helm, for the last couple of weeks, I have been, shall we say, a little bit obsessed with graphite.
Graphite, I've been talking about it a lot.
Graphite of pencil fame, but also, as.
You keep pointing out, also of battery fame.
It is a key ingredient in batteries, which I did not know before I.
Started looking into this, which makes it a critical mineral.
It is important for the whole green energy electric future.
And also important, almost all of the battery ready graphite in the world comes from one single place, which is China.
And that is actually true of lots of the materials that go into batteries, like processed lithium, processed cobalt.
But you know, Keith, you hear about those other metals.
Graphite is flying under the radar.
Another person who shares your concerns, Sally.
