Our research funding may be cancelled, but I am glad to share this new pub from our work on water, energy, and environmental justice! We created a lesson plan (open access!) with teaching ideas for high school and undergrad geography classes. #geosky @dustinmulvaney.bsky.social @jjablair.bsky.social

From "Class Struggle and the Global Overaccumulation of Capital," published by the late Marxist sociologist Simon Clarke in 2001. I read that paper a decade ago and have returned to this passage regularly since then
"lead to a further growth in global imbalances, in international competition, in inter-imperialist rivalries, and in financial and political instability. It is equally certain that if the crisis tendencies of global capitalist accumulation are not contained, they will provoke a political crisis of neo-liberalism, both nationally and internationally, the outcome of which we cannot predict. However, we know, from bitter historical experience, how powerful are the forces of nationalism once opportunistic politicians have unleashed them. We know how rapidly old alliances can crumble, and we know how rapidly new, and often extremely unlikely, blocks can form. We know how fast, once such block formation is under way, conflict can escalate, and economic differences become political confrontations, which in turn lead to military engagements. We know how rapidly an epoch of global prosperity, underpinning prospects of world peace and international harmony, can become an epoch of global confrontation, culminating in war. If such a prospect seems unlikely now, it seemed equally unlikely a century ago."

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?

I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

Giant batteries drain economics of gas power plants
Giant batteries that ensure stable power supply by offsetting intermittent renewable supplies are becoming cheap enough to make developers abandon scores of projects for gas-fired generation world-wide.
