Summary
The climate crisis is here. The Western U.S. is burning, much of the Northeast is underwater after a hurricane and towns in Europe are swept away by massive floods. Time is slipping away to stop the worst effects of a warming planet, and the world is looking for solutions. On “How We Survive,” Molly Wood explores the technology that could provide some of those solutions, the business of acclimatizing to an increasingly inhospitable planet, and the way people have to change if we’re going to make it in an altered world. Decarbonization requires a lot of batteries, and many batteries require lithium. The need for lithium is driving a modern gold rush for the metal that could save the world, but relies on an old, dirty technology: mining. This season, we’ll dive deep into the economics, the tech and the human stories behind the rush for “white gold.” And unlike the gold rush of the 1800s, this time, our survival might depend on it. It all starts Oct. 6. Listen to the trailer now and be sure to follow the show so you don’t miss an episode.

How We Survive: The $80 Million Acre
Release Date: 01/03/2024
Description: We’re excited to share How We Survive with you! How We Survive is a podcast from Marketplace that explores solutions to the climate crisis. This season, host Amy Scott investigates how people are adapting to the water crisis in the American West. The Colorado River feeds us and powers our lives by irrigating millions of acres of farmland, supporting 30 Tribal Nations and providing drinking water to forty million people. Cities from Denver to Los Angeles couldn’t exist without it. With the ongoing megadrought, we’re using more water than the river has to give and private investors have discovered a financial windfall in buying water rights. As Western states fundamentally rethink how water is divided up and used, others ask who is cashing in on climate change. We're sharing episode 1 of the podcast's current season, The Worth of Water. Buckeye, Arizona, is a small city with dreams of becoming “the next Phoenix.” It’s one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. In the past few decades, its population has ballooned more than twentyfold, and the city plans to add more than 100,000 new homes in coming years. The only catch? Growth requires water. And Buckeye doesn’t have enough. So what’s a small city with big dreams to do? Part of the answer lies in one scrubby acre of land way out in the desert that’s owned by a group of investors.

Description: This podcast is something I made on a whim. I had an epiphany. I thought, how can I share my urgency? My need to tell people about our world and how it’s burning in flames. I’m young, and maybe nobody will ever find this podcast because I have no idea what i’m doing. But if it can reach just one person, i’ll be happy. I hope you find a new perspective here.
