“It’s almost impossible to transition away from fossil fuels without nickel from Indonesia,” one research analyst said. Fueling that transition are migrant workers from China, laboring in deadly conditions.

Read @wufeiyu.bsky.social’s new feature, produced Grist and republished by Rest of World:

The Chinese migrant workers powering the deadly EV nickel boom

30,000 Chinese workers travel thousands of miles to remote islands in Eastern Indonesia to process nickel — and put their lives at risk on the frontier of the green energy transition.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.
