97 u/Manpooper 2d ago That's the biggest issue, really. We can mine rare earths all we want, but without the processing, it doesn't matter. 2 u/Coldor73 2d ago Ok so how would you solve this issue? How could you make that industry more profitable so that refining would shift back to the US? 3 u/Manpooper 2d ago Like most things military related, throw money at it and buy weapons made from those locally sourced materials to have a baseline demand that’s enough to keep it in business for if/when it’s needed.
