All_Pro_Bills Posted Monday at 02:02 PM Posted Monday at 02:02 PM Rare earth mineral dependency on China is something anyone watching the resource sector has been aware of for about 10 years. Its nothing new. But there are other sources. One of them is potential domestic mining. Of course doing that was another problem because getting a mining permit, approval for construction, and passing an environmental impact assessment review was next to impossible. So here we are.

The solution will be domestic mining... Former obstacles will be removed... If China remains one unified country ten years from now... I would be very surprised... The Han are losing power... Without their strength, unification ends...

So what if you have to pay a bit more for something the pro's far out weighs the cons of having the sign "Made in America" back on our products again . The only part that might stop us is how lazy Americans have become being so entitlement minded thinking they would rather sit home and have things handed to them just because rather than work for or earn a living ...
