David Boyle's Unexpected Dive into Lithium-Ion Batteries
“Absolute devastation on a human level this time. The Chinese are very happy with the health and safety standards out in the Congo, so we don't have to worry about any of that. But it was like, yeah, all nickel mining is like that, not just there, it's all f*****.”
