Rare earths are used in the very computer and laptops of the bloggers who think Obama is the Anti-Christ or that global warming is a hoax too you know.

When People like Mr Pickens in the previous link talk about dependence on foreign oil they neglect to mention to people they will still be dependent on China to convert the oil to usable electricity

The problem is rare earths are used in all the batteries and electronics etc etc of the modern world we cant escape it not even if we only ever use domestic oils and gas or nuke sources
