Reviews
"A nuanced and invaluable deep dive into the questions that need to be addressed if we are to fight climate change and achieve energy security." -- Financial Times "Incredibly important." --BBC World "Highlights the myriad difficulties faced by the people who build mines, as well as those hurt by or opposed to them." -- Wall Street Journal "A much-needed introduction to one of the defining issues of our time." -- New York Post "Insightful...the stories he shares are stark reminders of why we need to have a systems view of material supply, from mines to markets." -- Science "To uncover the inconvenient truths and the often overlooked tradeoffs of the energy transition, Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder takes readers on a journey through American history, geopolitics, and the business world." -- Fortune , Best Books of 2023 "Clear and nuanced... fair and evenhanded." --Christian Science Monitor "Authoritative analysis of a crucial issue and the tough choices ahead, backed by solid research." -- Kirkus (starred review) "David vs. Goliath battles butt up against very real planetary perils in this evocative account of the energy transition's myriad complexities." -- Publishers Weekly "For readers eager to learn about this industry, this is a sound start." -- Booklist, " The War Below provides an illuminating account of the global struggle for control of critical minerals. As the world uses more batteries it will need vastly more lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper. The War Below takes readers on an extraordinary journey from the bottom of the world's deepest mines to the commanding heights of the world's energy system. Scheyder uncovers the forces shaping the struggle for critical minerals, from geopolitical competition between China and the U.S. to political clashes between environmental groups and the world's largest mining firms. This is essential reading for understanding the critical minerals upon which the energy transition--and our future prosperity--relies." --Chris Miller, author of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology, "Addressing climate change by digging up the earth for minerals is like putting out a fire with gasoline. Veteran journalist Scheyder helps cut through the smoke with his new book. The War Below gives the reader a front row seat to one of the critical debates of our time: how to power the clean energy transition without adding to ecological and human harm through irresponsible mining. Scheyder's detailed storytelling and research help convey what's at stake in this new 'race to the bottom.'" --Payal Sampat, Earthworks, "A nuanced and invaluable deep dive into the questions that need to be addressed if we are to fight climate change and achieve energy security." -- Financial Times "A much-needed introduction to one of the defining issues of our time." -- New York Post "Insightful...the stories he shares are stark reminders of why we need to have a systems view of material supply, from mines to markets." -- Science "To uncover the inconvenient truths and the often overlooked tradeoffs of the energy transition, Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder takes readers on a journey through American history, geopolitics, and the business world." -- Fortune , Best Books of 2023 "Authoritative analysis of a crucial issue and the tough choices ahead, backed by solid research." -- Kirkus (starred review) "David vs. Goliath battles butt up against very real planetary perils in this evocative account of the energy transition's myriad complexities." -- Publishers Weekly "For readers eager to learn about this industry, this is a sound start." -- Booklist

Synopsis
Acclaimed Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder tells the story of the billion-dollar battle for the resources to power our future, illuminating its global impacts on business, China, climate change, and geopolitics, LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION AND THE 2024 FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD This unprecedented look inside the global battle to power our lives is "required reading for anyone interested in the 360-degree impacts of the energy transition" (Daniel Poneman, former US Deputy Secretary of Energy) from acclaimed Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder. To build electric vehicles, solar panels, cell phones, and millions of other devices means the world must dig more mines to extract lithium, copper, and other vital building blocks. But mines are deeply unpopular, even as they have a role to play in fighting climate change and powering crucial technologies. These tensions have sparked a worldwide reckoning over the sourcing of necessary materials, and no one understands the complexities of these issues better than Ernest Scheyder. The War Below reveals the explosive brawl among industry titans, conservationists, community groups, policymakers, and many others over whether the habitats of rare plants, sensitive ecosystems, Indigenous holy sites, and other places should be dug up for their riches. With accessible and "illuminating" (Chris Miller, author of Chip War ) writing, Scheyder shows the human toll of this war and explains why recycling and other newer technologies have struggled to gain widespread use. He also expertly chronicles Washington's attempts to wean itself off supplies from China, the global leader in mineral production and processing. The War Below paints a powerfully honest and nuanced picture of what is at stake in this new fight for energy independence, revealing how America and the rest of the world's hunt for the "new oil" directly affects us all.
