Insights with Robert Friedland

Meeting Robert Friedland for the second time (the first being when I was only twelve) was a profound experience that reignited my passion for renewable energy and sustainability as well as being my first time in LA. As a leader in the mining industry, Friedland's insights on innovation and environmental stewardship have long inspired

me.

Our meeting coincided with my research on renewable energy and battery storage, focusing on the mining of raw materials. Friedland's expertise enriched our conversation as he emphasized the importance of responsible mining practices in supporting a sustainable energy future. I wish to ask him for an input on my final essay before publishing it.

What made this encounter memorable was translating for my uncle, bridging language barriers and cultural divides. It underscored the universal importance of the topics discussed.
