“[For] the base components in chip manufacturing… China controls 100% of the world’s source of gallium, 96% of the world’s germanium… We have done nothing in the realm of extraction and refinement of rare earth elements. We are whistling past the graveyard on this.”—@RobWittman https://t.co/3oFQaH3CuH
This is good news, but it misses the point and gets at why the West if failing and falling behind "Rare earths" aren't particularly rare. There are huge deposits of them in North America, in addition to Australia, Southeast Asia, etc. Many are produced as byproducts of… https://t.co/3Zq0eg3sq5
