This could be the summer of eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff Landing) aircraft, the long held vision for practical flying cars and cheap and easy air flight.We have our eye on several companies in that race, one of them being the “Switchblade,” in Oregon, a hybrid machine that both flies and drives on the ground. And to make it all the more greener to fly electric, the materials for the powerful batteries needed will soon be coming from Greenland rather than China or Africa, thanks to the discovery of a massive trove of critical minerals for hundreds of millions of electric vehicles. Ironically, Greenland is ground zero for many impacts of climate change, but it could also become ground zero for the materials needed to be a solution to the crisis.
