Join us for part two with Corby Anderson as we discuss the challenges of NIMBY, or "Not In My Backyard," which threatens the successful development of mines and facilities to help reduce foreign influence in material supply chains. Corby also talks about his past work in Ukraine and how disruption to critical supply chains in the region have brought increased awareness around energy independence and mineral supply chain vulnerabilities. Finally, Corby talks about whether or not a fully integrated and independent material supply chain could be possible and if it is truly desirable in a global economy.
