CHARGED

For readers of books on business, China, climate change, and geopolitics, acclaimed Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder will tell the story of the billion-dollar global battle for the resources to power our future.

Tesla woke us (and Wall Street) up to the fact that electric vehicles are the future. What most people don't know is the resources needed to power that future (lithium, cobalt etc) are currently up for grabs. CHARGED will be a deeply reported, character-driven account of the global battle to control these resources - a battle that many believe presents the greatest business opportunity since the industrial revolution.

CHARGED is a global business narrative. China's control of these resources - if they continue to dominate - will have a profound impact on global national security. Beyond China, countries like Chile (see recent NYT story on lithium) and the Congo (see recent NYT story on cobalt) are in the news daily. Scheyder is THE subject matter expert who can connect the dots and to help make sense of the present and the future for those interested in climate change, business, and politics.

Ernest Scheyder is a journalist at Reuters covering the future of energy and transportation, with a focus on lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths and other minerals powering the electrification trend reshaping our global economy. He also writes regularly on electric vehicle and battery technology, as well as politics, policy and natural disasters.
