Wind turbines need rare earth metals, too.

So does the computer you are on. And the TV you watch. And any radio you listen to.

And every plane you fly on. And almost every car you drive. And all our military aircraft, all our defensive radar systems.

An even more important and more widely used RARE ELEMENT whose loss could really hurt us is CHROME.

Guess where our CHROME comes from?

Cuba I think. They have huge supplies of Nickle.

I have to admit I don’t know a lot about the rare earth metals but remember reading that China held the market.
