We Don't Mine Enough Rare Earth Metals to Replace Fossil Fuels With Renewable Energy
Vice ^ | 12/12/2018 | Nafeez Ahmed

Posted on 10/25/2020 7:25:34 AM PDT by carcraft

Renewable energy is dependent on limited quantities of rare earth metals. The largest concentration and supplier of rare earth metals in the world is China. The United States has very small amounts. If Biden is elected and forces drastic reduction in petroleum we will become dependent on Chine for our energy supply.

A little late for that, and its a question?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Yes! I also send a left leaning source to demonstrate this is an issue recognized by both sides. I have not seen any posts about rare earth metals and the problem they pose with renewable energy!

If Biden wins, then the Democrats will impeach him (or force him to resign) within two months after the inauguration. All of the media will start reporting the truth because Kamala Harris is the one that THEY chose....The riots will disappear, Covid will disappear (at least the reporting), and all will be quiet until they install their new Socialist United States of America. At least that is possibly their plan..Obvious to me. When you see the Media (social, print, and TV) turn on a dime to start reporting malfeasance, then you will know for sure...

The United States has very small amounts.

Is this guy an idiot or ignorant?

Note the green vs blue pins in America.
Regulations have destroyed America's rare earth MINING, not its availability.

Here is a little history on rare earth production in the US. China now owns a once productive rare earth mine in the Us. China controls 80% of rare earth production. https://www.defensenews.com/opinion/commentary/2019/11/12/the-collapse-of-american-rare-earth-mining-and-lessons-learned/

You could have posted that as a counter argumment in reply 1.

Biden enabled China to obtain F35 stealth technology.

A lot of Americans will die to fuel his greed.

No.
Top 3 of PRC’s favorite TPOUS: GWB, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter(or Bill Clinton).

So glad I can laugh at that to-do list.

Not what it's about. At all. Remotely.

Elon is already seeking alternatives to Chinese lithium.

What this is about, is Joe Biden sought to get-rick-quick off the sale of Chinese-made artificial intelligence to bring "Social Credit" to the United States.

If you look at the timeline, most of Hunter's advance work was done on the "Hillary wins" timeline; thus Joe never has to run; thus Karamela (also named as stakeholder in Chinese AI) never has to run.

Cankles would have overseen the implementation of "Social Credit" -- face scans, biometrics (you really think your thumbprint gets deleted at the Mouse House) tied to free travel and your actual credit score, all based on your social media postings.

Now Joe is the Chinese AI vanguard, he's already bought and paid for so he's all-in, so is Jill and the rest of the Bidens. They have to be rejected at the polls, and then Hunter prosecuted for FARA violations.
