Former President Donald Trump had bragged about his success in opening the region to oil production after decades of political fighting over the resources locked under the tundra there.

I’d gladly pay a little more for gas knowing it came from a north american oil well than have the blood children working in african cobalt mines on my hands.

Fuck them kids. /s
Yeah child labor is fucked up but we need to pressure our government and corporations to get more sustainable mines and better conditions for the workers.
The problem is we need the cobalt and lithium, and domestic production of that is hard to come by due to lack of deposits, and the deposits we do have are being railroaded by environmental lawsuits. Damned if do, damned if you don’t. We can’t even log off forests that are already dead from beetle kill. So taking advantage of 3rd world kids is the only option.
