AK is packed with the rare earth stuff. It was mined and refined vigorously during WWI and WWII. Nobody is mining it now. Since it is found with other things that are being mined, the ore (gold/platinum/copper) gets processed in Canada or in US, and the tailings/slag (which holds all those rare elements) gets shoveled onto slow boats to China, which refines the REA, and sells them back to us for big $$$. Maybe when the China ore is played out, USA will bother to build a refining/smelting facility. Our defenses depend heavily on these elements, far more than having self driving cars.

The desert southwest is lousy with rare earth metals. However, since we quit making more atom bombs, there is zero American company interest in mining any of them, and we don't even make much tool steel any more to encourage vanadium mining. All part of the 50 years of de-industrialization we have been indulging in. Eventually the Chinese or Russians will come and mine them for free. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Electric vehicles and wind power information
Not necessarily true. There have been efforts to re-establish uranium mining in and around the Grand Canyon of late. It’s stirred up quite a bit a trouble with the locals, understandably so. That’s one of the reasons why you can’t use groundwater around there for drinking purposes if you’re out in the wilds - it’s most likely got uranium and arsenic in it. -D > On Dec 27, 2020, at 6:42 PM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes > wrote: > > The desert southwest is lousy with rare earth metals.
