RE:Biden's Hopes For Rare Earth Independence at Least 10 Years From the article:Imagine how fu*#ed up this statement is for a US rare earth supply chain....its laughable...how will Ucore supply an SMC without mining? For the love of god.....
Biden’s order doesn’t specifically call for more domestic extraction, but lawmakers are gearing up for a fight. House Democrats say they support Biden’s goal of fortifying the nation’s supply chains, but not if it means more mining. Republicans counter that growing demand, especially for electric vehicles and renewable energy projects, can’t be met without more mining.
