US is incredibly behind in rare earth refinery
This eye-opening report showcases how far behind the US is in rare earth element processing, which is key to producing semiconductors and military defense systems.
Opening a new plant in Canada (with funding from US Department of Defense) can't compete with 85% of rare earth processing that come from China, who have been at this since 1980.
It's gonna be a long road ahead for the US.
