La produzione globale di antimonio è crollata del 28% in cinque anni, le restrizioni cinesi hanno ridisegnato la mappa dell’approvvigionamento e i progetti occidentali sono ancora lontani dalla scala produttiva necessaria.

The critical chokepoint

By: Mike Froman To borrow the words of my colleague, CFR Senior Fellow Heidi Crebo-Rediker, in the pages of Foreign Affairs, critical minerals today are “America’s most dangerous dependence.” With near total control of the world’s critical minerals production, China maintains significant economic le

She's in charge for a few hours as PM, and the first thing she's doing is meeting Trump? What is wrong with all those "new leaders", and who is electing them, if they even got elected? #japan #rareminerals #warfare

Scientists May Have Discovered How To Extract Power From the Earth's Rotation

"No more burning fossil fuels, playing with fissile material, damming rivers, erecting wind mills, or making solar panels. All of our energy needs could potentially be supplied by the angular kinetic energy of the Earth — and because of the mass of the planet, doing so would slow its rotation down by a mere 7ms per century."
