You decide to focus on protecting America’s trade and clean energy interests for three reasons:
- If the graphite miners go on strike, it will hurt U.S. graphite imports.
- Without graphite, the United States cannot develop the new solar battery, which would hurt U.S. clean energy goals.
- A disruption to the graphite trade will hurt Myca’s economy and further destabilize a country already suffering from the hurricane crisis.
— U.S. trade representativeIn general, nations that trade with each other do not go to war with each other. Trade is a tool of peace.
— Environmental Protection Agency officialWithout Mycan graphite for the solar battery, America’s clean energy plan will be severely compromised.
— Silicon Valley executiveWe pay top dollar for graphite, maybe too much. I suspect most of the money ends up in some official’s pocket due to corruption.
