The supply chain of a cell phone is a complex system of suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors that are all essential to providing consumers with the product they desire. As a result of its complexity, any disruption in the supply of components, materials, or services can have a dramatic effect on the availability and cost of cell phones.
Oil and gas are two key components of the supply chain that are essential for the production, transportation, and usage of cell phones.
Therefore, it is important to understand how the supply and availability of oil and gas can impact the entire supply chain of a cell phone.
Oil and gas are used in the production of cell phones in a variety of ways. For example, oil and gas are used in the manufacturing of electronic components such as microprocessors, displays, and batteries.
These components are then used to assemble the various components of a cell phone, such as the casing, buttons, and other accessories. Furthermore, oil and gas are used in the transportation of these components to the assembly plant. Without oil and gas, the cost of shipping the components would be much higher and the speed of delivery would be significantly slower.
In addition to their use in the production of cell phones, oil and gas are essential for the transportation of cell phones to the distributors and retailers. Cell phones are typically shipped by air, which requires the use of fuel. The cost of fuel is determined by the cost of oil and gas, and if either of these commodities increase in price, it will have a direct impact on the cost of transporting cell phones.
Furthermore, the availability of oil and gas can determine whether or not cell phones can be shipped in a timely manner. If oil and gas are in short supply or the cost is too high, it can limit the ability of retailers and distributors to get the necessary supplies to their customers.
Finally, oil and gas are necessary for the usage of cell phones. Cell phones are powered by batteries, which are made of a variety of materials including oil and gas. As such, if the cost of these commodities increases, it can have a direct impact on the cost of cell phone batteries. In addition, oil and gas are used to generate the electricity that is used to charge cell phone batteries. If the cost of oil and gas rises, it can lead to an increase in electricity prices, which can add to the cost of using a cell phone.
In summary, oil and gas play a major role in the entire supply chain of a cell phone. The cost and availability of these commodities can have a direct impact on the cost and availability of cell phones. As such, it is important to understand how changes in the supply and demand of oil and gas can affect the entire supply chain of a cell phone.

Sponsors, Music and Other Show Notes
Studio Sponsor: The Industrial Forest
The Industrial Forest is a network of environmentally minded and socially conscious businesses that are using industrial innovations to build a network of sustainable forests across the United States.
Weekly Sponsor: Stephen Heins, The Practical Environmentalist
Historically, Heins has been a writer on subjects ranging from broadband and the US electricity grid, to environmental, energy and regulatory topics.
Heins is also a vocal advocate of the Internet of Everything, free trade, and global issues affecting the third of our planet that still lives in abject poverty.
Heins is troubled by the Carbon Tax, Cap & Trade, Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits, because he questions their efficacy in solving the climate problem, are too gamable by rent seekers, and are fraught with unreliable accounting.
Heins worries that climate and other environmental reporting in the US and Europe has become too politicized, ignores the essential role carbon-based energy continues to play in the lives of billions, demonizes the promise and practicality of Nuclear Energy and cheerleads for renewable energy sources that cannot solve the real world problems of scarcity and poverty.
Look at what’s happened to me.
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m down at the bottom of the world.
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-e-e.
Barterin’ away with some wings at the fair
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me
