Episode 13 - Mining the Weather Gap

Show Notes

Hosts:  Ryan Harris

Guest: No Guest

Description:  Do you know where your energy comes from?  The minerals needed for your solar panels and battery technology?  The chips in your mobile device that you’re listening to this podcast on?  How about the food on your table or the complex supply chain that, as we saw during COVID, really is the oil in the world’s economic engine?  Without mining and an efficient supply chain, things like electronics or even toilet paper get scarce.  And all of this hinges on solid weather and climate information.
