The US needs to expand mining of “Critical Materials” and “Minerals” to on-shore our needs.
Critical materials for energy (“the electric eighteen”): aluminum, cobalt, copper, dysprosium, electrical steel, fluorine, gallium, iridium, lithium, magnesium, natural graphite, neodymium, nickel, platinum, praseodymium, silicon, silicon carbide and terbium.
Critical minerals: The Secretary of the Interior, acting through the director of the U.S. Geological Survey, published a 2022 final list of critical minerals that includes the following 50 minerals: “Aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barite, beryllium, bismuth, cerium, cesium, chromium, cobalt, dysprosium, erbium, europium, fluorspar, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, holmium, indium, iridium, lanthanum, lithium, lutetium, magnesium, manganese, neodymium, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, praseodymium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthenium, samarium, scandium, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, thulium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, ytterbium, yttrium, zinc, and zirconium.”

We need to unleash mining of
needed materials and minerals to ensure our supply of these elements.
Currently, these mineable elements are held hostage by the US Federal government. We need to produce everything we consume.
The best way to increase mining activity in the US is to give US Federal land back to the States.
