The Copper Conundrum
The Copper Conundrum Photo by Denis Yosifov on Unsplash Copper is at the heart of everything electric. It is no exaggeration to say, that our entire “renewable, clean, green” future hinges upon its uninterrupted supply.

On Domed Cities and Doomed Dreams
On Domed Cities and Doomed Dreams Recently I’ve been reading the writings of the American philosopher William James.
