Batteries power the clean energy transition—but what happens when key countries start locking down access?

In this episode, we unpack the hidden risks of export restrictions on critical battery materials and tech. From rising EV costs to disrupted supply chains and geopolitical rifts, these trade barriers carry serious consequences. You'll learn how they:
