The Crazy Leftists think the Chinese Communist Party is nice and can be trusted but it’s going to eat their lunch
The ‘73 oil embargo caused a titanic shift in the way oil was used in America. The long-term effect was more oil drilled in the US and significant efficiency gains...thus less oil sold overall. The thing that makes rare earths rare isn’t that there isn’t enough of them. It’s that the processing is dirty, and the various EPAs collectively decided it was better to export the environmental damage to China. China heavily subsidized the rare earth industry until they were supplying ninety percent. We have more than sufficient supply in the ground here, but no will to dig it up and process it. BTW, the processing has improved remarkably since the seventies, but the stigma is still there and thus the political will isn’t there.
