I talk about this quit a bit. Rare earth minerals are the Achilles heel of green energy. The US has one rare earth mine. No rare earth processing facilities are located in the US. The US has one rare earth mine, owned by China. The processing of rare earth metals is environmentally messy. China doesn’t care that much about environmental degradation so they are more than happy to gain control despite the environmental cost. Will America once again depend on foreign nations for our energy resources?
