Biden and the greens to shut it down posthaste?

Well, we can’t be having that, now, can we? /s

an Australian-founded exploration company. Who owns the land I wonder.

[Fido969]

Feels like a penny-stock hustle.

[Orosius]

We won’t be allowed to use it. Might offend Traitor Joe’s Chicom paymasters.

If China does not already own this land then Americans can make decisions.

As of 202 China owns roughly 384,000 acres of U.S. agricultural land.
Plus many businesses. And donates to universities.

As of the end of 2022, data indicates the operation of around 5,000 Chinese-owned companies in the United States, spanning diverse industries such as technology, manufacturing, finance, and real estate.

I have a few areas in the Lower 48 that I keep in mind if I am ever forced to leave Alaska for whatever reason. The Wheatland area was one of those places. Now, I’ll have to cross it off the list, as land and housing prices will no doubt increase dramatically.

I am sure the EPA is sending an army there.

Main reason China has the rest of the world beat on rare earths, to my understanding from places like this, is that they don’t give a flying Philadelphia rat’s rump about the consequences to people or the environment in the mining and refining of those metals. Highly toxic, and wicked dangerous. Nobody talks enough about that with all this electrification at 20 times the current infrastructure talk. People die from this crap. If you do it safely, it’s incredibly expensive.

A metric ton equals about 2,200 pounds while a ton is 2,000 pounds.

Why can't those metric people be satisfied with a real ton? And a mile?

[Bernard Marx]

Watch while the Obama/Biden cabal does everything in its power to stop development of the resource.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

Just as with oil and natural gas, we have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. There are thousands of years of hydrocarbons under our feet, and who knows how much rare, and not rare, materials.

When the next Great Cold returns, the people alive then will laugh at AlGore and his minions stating “the Earth has a fever.”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Shouldn’t a metric tonne be equal to 2,204.62262 pounds?

Quick! Sell the land to China!

Quick! Sell it to China!

Gadolinium (#64 on the periodic table) was named for Johan Gadolin, who discovered the first rare earth mineral (and was an opponent of the “phlogiston” theory)

[Blood of Tyrants]

If it’s good for America, it’s bad for the DemocRats who will do all they can to shut it down.
