Gianni Kovacevic: Rare Earths on Verge of Exploding

Tom welcomes Gianni Kovacevic back to the show. He discusses his educational and entertaining novel, “My Electrician Drives a Porsche?”, and why there is a coming energy pivot.

Gianni outlines the changing oil markets compared with copper and gold. Most copper production comes from just two Latin American countries, and there are few good alternatives. Copper appears to be diverging from its historic patterns, and the number of electric vehicles on the road will only increase regardless of consumer demand. The world will continue to use more copper, and he discusses a recent 60-page report on copper from Bernstein Research. That report makes a compelling case for the metal. He says, “Running out of a commodity does not matter until it matters, and then it matters a lot.”

Gianni discusses the uses for helium and why its increasingly finding uses in the technology sector. However, US strategic reserves are now depleted, and prices have gone up massively.

Lastly, he gives us his thoughts on lithium and why he expects to see a thousand percent demand increase over the coming years. He talks about a couple of interesting plays in both helium and lithium.
