Given the demand for energy, transforming energy infrastructures to renewable resources will require significant investment and will demand new supply chains of materials. Current technologies for renewable electricity require rare earth minerals for batteries or wind turbines, for example. There is a danger that supposedly sustainable energy relies on \u2018extractive mentalities\u2019, reinforcing geopolitical powers rather than liberating indebted countries to source their own energy supplies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panelist:<a href=\"https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/index.php\/2021\/05\/16\/the-cedej-environment-and-social-policies-seminar-series-webinar-26-may-2021-at-6-pm\/renewable-energies-final-poster\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20803\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-20803\" src=\"https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/renewable-energies-final-poster--300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"419\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/renewable-energies-final-poster--300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/renewable-energies-final-poster--1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/renewable-energies-final-poster--768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/renewable-energies-final-poster--1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cedej-old.hybrid-cs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/renewable-energies-final-poster--2048x1434.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Simone Abram<\/strong><br \/>\nProfessor of Anthropology at Durham University (UK).
