[8/10] The Weda Bay deposit supplies the world's production of batteries for electric vehicles. Eramet presents it as a pillar of the green transition, but practices on site call into question this promise of sustainability.

Why did a crisis intervention in Syria harden into something permanent? This essay traces the machinery: long leases at Tartus/Hmeimim, “reconciliation zone” policing, 50-year resource concessions, and asset shelter. #Syria #RussiaInSyria #Geopolitics #ContractualEmpire #ResourceExtraction

[5/5] Le nickel sale indonésien est présent dans les 10 modèles de voitures électriques les plus vendus en France. Les constructeurs peinent à tracer leur approvisionnement. Seul Stellantis a partiellement répondu aux journalistes. #geography #resourceextraction #deforestation #transition

[4/5] L’exploitation est soutenue par un système de conflits d’intérêts au sommet de l’État. Des ministres et leurs familles détiennent des parts dans des mines actives sur des îles pourtant protégées par la loi, comme Kabaena ou Fau. #geography #resourceextraction #deforestation #transition #mining
[3/5] Le raffinage du nickel repose sur le charbon, émetteur de dioxyde de soufre. Des mines illégales contaminent l’eau et détruisent les récifs du Triangle de Corail. Plus de 120 millions de personnes en dépendent pour vivre, dont 2 millions de pêcheurs. #geography #resourceextraction #transition
[9/10] En 2024, WBN a généré 386 millions d’euros de bénéfices pour ses actionnaires. Mais pour les habitants, la ruée vers le nickel est un désastre écologique. Le chrome 6, le mercure et le plomb rendent l’eau impropre à la consommation. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining
[8/10] Le gisement Weda Bay alimente la production mondiale de batteries pour voitures électriques. Eramet le présente comme un pilier de la transition verte, mais les pratiques sur place remettent en cause cette promesse de durabilité. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining
[7/10] Eramet affirme ne pas avoir de rôle décisionnaire, mais deux cadres dirigeants de WBN sont issus de sa filiale au Gabon. Après les révélations, ils ont été démis de leurs fonctions le 7 mai 2025, signe du pouvoir réel d’Eramet dans la gestion. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining
[6/10] Les serveurs informatiques ont été rendus inaccessibles après les signalements. Un climat de peur s’est installé sur le site, où la direction aurait saisi les ordinateurs du personnel pour effacer ou contrôler les preuves de pollution. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining
[5/10] Selon Henrik, ex-employé d’Eramet, 15 rivières seraient contaminées par des métaux lourds et du cyanure. En 2021, WBN a reçu un bulletin rouge des autorités indonésiennes pour mauvaise gestion environnementale. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining
[4/10] Les lanceurs d’alerte décrivent une stratégie de dissimulation : accidents non déclarés, données environnementales falsifiées, décès camouflés. Plusieurs anciens employés accusent WBN d’avoir manipulé les inspections internes d’Eramet. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

3/13 Projects like the Coastal GasLink pipeline are often driven through Indigenous territories without proper consent. Those favouring fossil fuel expansion are naturally drawn to viewpoints that limit Indigenous claims to land or self-determination.

Title: Mental Health Damaged After Oil Mixed With Water Description: Photograph of several fishing boats tied up in a harbor. One boat is named the "Mad Hatter", another the "Bipolar." A fisherman is sitting on the bow of the latter. Photographer: Marshall Mayer aka @authentic.photo Date and Time: September 6, 2010 at 6:30 pm Location: North Harbor Drive, Valdez, AK USA License: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Caption: The damage done by the Exxon Valdez disaster—still the largest oil spill in a pristine area—has never been adequately addressed. Exxon and the oil industry owns Alaska—every resident gets a pitiful annual dividend from oil royalties paid to the state by extractors. Everyone is addicted, a mental health issue, to that check.
