This will give the BBC an opportunity for another programme - How Tesla have devastated economies of the Congo as a result of a shift away from Cobalt.
Correct. I have worked in agribusiness and continuous-process manufacturing in some fairly unforgiving parts of the world. Belive me, there are some horror stories. A cynic might say "at least those guys in the mines have a job" which is true. Best not to dwell on what happens to them and their families when the roof caves in and they are injured. In the comfort of our homes in the UK we are not generally aware of industrial accidents ranging from "Slips Trips and Falls" to lacerations, amputations, scalding, crushing, poisoning, and asphyxiation. I'm not talking about Dark Satanic Mills in the 18th century, but right here and now in the 21st century. And that's just in the "developed economies".
