Cornwall revives its mines to regain jobs and independence. And Brittany?

Moving away from hydrocarbons requires electrifying the economy. Electrifying requires lithium and other strategic minerals. If Europe refuses to extract them, it will remain dependent either on hydrocarbons or on countries like China. This is the reasoning put forward by Perran Moon, Labour MP for Camborne and Redruth, who supports the mining revival in Cornwall. This...
