"POLITICO Money" presents Episode 6 of the new season of POLITICO's
podcast "Global Translations": 

To understand how essential critical minerals are to our world, we turn
to a case study: cobalt. This mineral is proving key to the future of
green energy, defense and high tech manufacturing — not to mention
electric vehicles. But cobalt has its challenges. Hosts Luiza Savage and
Ryan Heath look at China’s dominant role in global cobalt mining and the
serious problems that can arise if other countries can't get enough
supplies.
