"RARE EARTH MINERALS"
Capitalism and Rare Earth Minerals
According to yesterday's WSJ, the Chinese are all over it !! How so?
China: 2008 accounted for 20% of world's solar panels; today, 50%.
U.S.: 3%. US installations are at an all time high. Why is this a big deal? Each panel contains rare earth minerals and China has largest
developed concentration of rare earth minerals. Hmmm. Could they be moving to (control) solar market?! Whoa! New Mexico to the rescue!?
We've all heard about them, but..
What are they? Where are they?
What do they mean to our life, economy?
What strategic value do they hold?
Is it true New Mexico could be a big part of the world's Rare Earth Mineral future?!
How big is big?!

above topic, questions and much more!!!
