Excellent. I did not know about the Japan source.

However, this is very much like a Clive Cussler book I read recently.

Note to China...rare earth metals are not that rare.

REOs are not that rare...Mountain Pass Mine, California is hoping the Chinese do this. Plenty of other sources as well.

Based on the title (always judge a book by it’s cover) I was going to reject it as another sack of liberal global warming hysteria. Then I read a review - and the following:

from link:

“His first non-fiction, The Sea Hunters, was released in 1996. The Board of Governors of the Maritime College, State University of New York, considered The Sea Hunters in lieu of a Ph.D. thesis and awarded Cussler a Doctor of Letters degree in May, 1997.”

I’ll check out the book... Thanks Rio.
