(Part 2 of 2) As global demand for AI, battery technology, and clean energy surges, critical minerals have become essential to powering innovation and protecting national security. To kick off our new series exploring the global race for these vital resources, Elisa sits down with Tommy Beaudreau, former Deputy Secretary of the Interior and Partner at WilmerHale, to break down the stakes. For Part 2 of their discussion, they discuss outdated U.S. mining laws, efforts to establish international standards, and China’s financial control over resource development.
Tommy Beaudreau is a Partner at WilmerHale, and co-chair of WilmerHale’s Energy, Environment and Natural Resources and Native American Law Practices.
