Elemental power: America’s rare earth awakening
Rare earth metals might seem like a rarified or exotic topic to discuss, but it is anything but. The rise of AI and electric cars necessitates ever increasing levels of mining and production of chips and other electronics derived from rare earth metals. Right now China has the jump on the United States, but the Trump administration is trying to remedy that… and quick. Will the future belong to those who can extract and produce the most rare earth metals? Only time will tell. Join Scottie Nell Hughes on this episode of Perspective to discuss all of this and more with guests Steve Abramowicz, host of the Heartland Journal Podcast, and longtime conservative radio pundit and host Steve Gill.
