Brandon Craig, President of BHP Americas, joins us on The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism to unpack one of the most urgent—and often overlooked—challenges of the energy transition: the global race for critical minerals.

From copper to lithium, the materials that power everything from EVs to data centers are in high demand, but is the mining sector moving fast enough to meet it? Craig lays out what’s slowing things down, the regulatory and geopolitical barriers, and what needs to happen to build resilient, secure supply chains here in the United States, outside of dominant producers like China.

Craig’s full speech from the Real Clear Energy Future Forum where he discussed rethinking security and supply in the age of critical minerals can be found here.
