Poso, isn't $1 trillion in rare earth minerals one of the "reasons" we're still in Afghanistan? Or was that just propaganda from the neocons to get us to keep troops there?https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/14/world/asia/14minerals.html …

But the US has spent more than $1Tr there already....would not be good economics to spend more than the value of the said minerals...

Shame that "Project Azorian" hadn't led to the ship actually doing what its cover story was , deep sea mining for rare earth metals in the Pacific , more than enough to put the Chinese mines out of work permanently down there once a few ships do eventually start it

We have them if we choose to mine them (i.e. Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine), including deposits in Alaska, Idaho, Colorado.

Yes many. Americans forget that China is the market for rare earth minerals ! If China puts an export ban on them for USA ? This means NO hi-tech devices until USA develops another supplier & that could be awhile !
