Bill Clinton shut down the largest US deposit of anthracite coal at the behest of his Indonesian donor at the time; he also forced the closure of a US company mining rare earths, turning the whole area into a park or some such, off limits to development - the Chinese then assumed the lead.

The only thing the US does not have in abundance is titanium, which comes from Russia.

“Why is the United States reliant on China and Russia for strategic minerals when we have more of these valuable resources than both these nations combined?”

Until it becomes untenable (like Saudi Arabia) why not use up their resources? I think there is a better case for minerals to be a finite resource than there ever was for peak oil.

Did we mine out all our SW copper, or just shut down ?

I say we should use all of theirs up first - as long as the prices are reasonable.
