  1. Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism
    The extraction-transition nexus

    "We’re not really in an energy transition as it is popularly understood. What we’re in is a period of major energy addition, in which both fossil fuels and renewable sources are growing at a rapid clip."

    "The sheer power of multinational companies means there’s an asymmetric relation between them and their host states. The more important question becomes: why are we experiencing such a boom and such a rush around the inputs for the green transition? Evidently the main driver of demand for, say, lithium, is electric vehicles. But that raises the further question: is there a way to organize the decarbonization of transport without reproducing auto dependency? The real challenge we face is to avoid reproducing our current, entrenched habits via green technology."
