The left said that we did not need to worry about shortages of rare earth metals. The only shortages will be for evil petroleum.

The EnviroNazi left will fight tooth and nail to stop any mining of this, funded by the folks who do control the supply, China.

Unless of course, it’s owned by a bunch of Connected Dems, like the Only U.S> mine now is!

They did find some strategic minerals over there, but I’m not sure exactly what. Supposed to be worth in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars. (Heck, 0bama could spend that in a couple of weeks.)
