Jan 8, 2026 - Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

When: January 8th, 4pm
Where: Jackman Humanities Building, Room 100A, 170 St. George St.

Will green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? "Clean" technologies and renewable energy and certainly growing sites of capitalist investment, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk, I will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium, a so-called 'critical mineral' essential for its role in decarbonizing one of the most polluting sectors: transportation.
