If they can be recycled, then we don’t need to mine them or depend upon China for them.

For example, American Manganese has a patented process for reclaiming nearly 100% of cobalt, nickel, and lithium from batteries. (With electric cars increasing exponentially, raw materials for batteries will be in short supply.) This is especially critical regarding cobalt, since the Congo supplies 95% of the world’s supply. In the past three years, American Manganese has gone from nothing to now being almost finished with a pilot plant. If the same can be done with rare earth metals, then China has no “Nuclear Option”. It’s that simple.

A massive supply of manganese lays untapped in northern Minnesota near Brainerd.
