How does ore transform into solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries?
In Episode 3 of "From the Ground Up," we talk about the industrial processes that turn raw materials into finished goods--and what happens to green technology at the end of its life.
We'll trace this transformation through the phases of transportation, processing, manufacturing, distribution, and disposal. Throughout, we'll discuss energy, environmental, and health effects, both good and bad. We wrap with a through-provoking reflection on the challenges and opportunities green technology presents.
