Living unsustainably means you need resources beyond your immediate environment. It requires you take from others. When done on a cultural level, it's known as imperialism. When we take their land too, it's colonialism. When we take their labor, it's slavery.All of these things are happening in the Congo. If you think solar and wind are sustainable or avoid human suffering, read Siddharth's book Cobalt Red. If you listened to my last conversation with Adam Hochschild on his book King Leopold's Ghost, you know about the west's cruelty in the Congo. It hasn't ended. Adam put me in touch with Siddharth.The book will change your views on what we call clean, green, and renewable. Siddharth doesn't outright say it, but it seems every rechargeable battery, therefore every phone, electric vehicle, laptop, and so on should be labelled: "Produced with slave labor."Cobalt RedReviews in the New York Times and L.A.

Jacki is joined by Donna Jackson of Project21, the black leadership network of the National Center for Public Policy Research. Ms. Jackson shares her recent testimony before the U.S. Congress to oppose regulation on for new vehicles, because “the proposed EPA rule has the distinction of harming black people on two continents, in the African nation of Congo as well as the U.S.” The regulation will boost car prices and “remove private car ownership from …most black Americans.” - - - - - “Mineral security”: Electric vehicles are expected to be only 10% of the national fleet by 2050 due to a lack of critical minerals and materials needed, mostly controlled by foreign adversaries. Jacki recommends “Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives” for insight into how modern slavery and child labor are central to the production of materials that power our smart phones, PCs, electric vehicles, and renewable energy. The “moral clock is dialed back to colonial times,” yet there is no organized resistance to the use of these products of slavery: the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign supply chains for critical minerals. Where are the human rights activists? - - - - - Electric vehicle makers and Ford Motor Company have made the business decision to manufacture vehicles without AM radio, a serious problem for the nation's emergency communications and preparedness. Congress appears ready to intervene. - - - - - Anarchist's anti-Capitalist “pay-as-you-go” coffee shop goes belly up after one year. What did they learn? If only the patriarchy (Sumerians) had not invented the oppressive discipline of math, the café might still be flying high.

A human rights and environmental catastrophe is happening right now, and it's powering everything from smart phones to electric car batteries. Siddharth Kara joins us to expose how China is using modern day slaves, including children, to turn a small patch of the Congo into the world's largest cobalt mining operation. Siddharth shares what he witnessed firsthand from years of undercover research inside the Congo, what life is like for the Congolese who are forced into these mining operations, how China came to totally dominate the world's largest cobalt reserves, and what Americans can do to rectify this terrible situation.

Siddharth Kara (@siddharthkara) is a British Academy Global Professor, an Associate Professor of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery at Nottingham University, a Senior Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, and the author of the New York Times bestseller Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives. What We Discuss with Siddharth Kara: Cobalt is an essential component of every lithium-ion rechargeable battery made today — the batteries that power our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles. About 75 percent of the world's supply of cobalt is mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, often by peasants and children in subhuman conditions who suffer and often die for their trouble. The environmental impact of cobalt extraction, including deforestation and pollution, that leaves behind toxic pits and wasteland unfit for sustaining life. The complex web of actors involved in the exploitation of Congo's mineral resources, including smugglers, traders, and corrupt government officials. As consumers, what can we do to raise awareness and jolt ourselves out of the apathy that allows these atrocities to continue in our names while holding the multinational interests that perpetrate them accountable?

Az akkumulátorgyártásról sokat olvasni mostanában; hazánkban több gyár is működik és a hírek szerint további óriáscégek érkezésére lehet számítani.  A gyártáshoz kobaltra van szükség. Ezt az értékes fémet a legnagyobb mennyiségben a Kongói Demokratikus Köztársaságban termelik ki - embertelen körülmények között.  Férfiak, nők és gyerekek százezrei ásnak 10-12 órán keresztül kézi szerszámokkal a hatalmas bányákban, napi 1-2 dollár bevételért. Mindennaposak a halálesetek, alagút-beomlások, balesetek. A dolgozók maradandó egészségi károsodásokat szenvednek a felszálló, mérgező por miatt, ami a bányák közeli települések házait is belepi. A kobalt iránti megnövekedett igény a gyermekkereskedelem és -munka fellendülését is magával vonta a térségben.  Adásunkban bemutatjuk Kongó népének évszázados tragédiáját. Az országot hajdani gyarmatbirodalomként kizsákmányolta a fejlett nyugati világ - és sajnos teszi ezt napjainkban is. Figyelem: felkavaró tartalom, az adás meghallgatását csak felnőtteknek ajánljuk.
