Thorium policy in all western nations undermines the successful development of a domestic rare earth market. All of the rare earths that most western mining companies are willing to process are what they call bastnasites or carbonatites. They select these rare earths not because of the high ratios of rare earths but simply the absence of thorium.
Manufacturers using rare earth elements in their products are relocating their manufacturing base inside China. The jobs in manufacturing transfer from the United States and western Europe into the Chinese mainland.
I think that pretty much sums up Rossi's goal as well...
Nothing wrong with that goal. Or did I somehow miss that you donated the last 12 months’ salary to orphans in Katmandu?
I guess it depends upon how you've earn it, filling a need or finding some poor sucker to screw...
