Digging deeper into the U.S.'s only rare earths mine

Put on your hard hat and get ready to dig deeper into the only rare earths mine in the U.S. -- now thrown into the midst of the trade war with China. CNN's Clare Sebastian reports.

There is no long-term point in making it so difficult to pollute here if we allow the pollution to be shipped elsewhere. If the fines, taxes and tariffs taken were not diverted solely to the government so the can govern harder, but to research on how to process profitably with less impact and to ease the burden of meeting regulations here, we could lead the world by example, pressure China to pollute less and then trade them the technology and process in exchange for lifting tariffs that should be placed on any company from any country that does not uphold the working and environmental standards we expect of companies locally. It would save the planet and put us on an even playing field. Instead this is simply a conspiracy to ensure China gains wealth and power by playing dirty in many senses of the word.

Yet another great subject. CNN, please replay Mr Quest more often. He’s so great at delivery, and the subjects are exactly what I want to see.

DONT TELL US WHAT REAR EARTHS ARE COMING OUT OF THIS MINE. THAT MIGHT BE COMMON SENSE. VERY BAD REPORTING.

It's not clear how China is compelling the USA to buy rare earth from China. Imposing a 1000 percent tariff on rare earth imports may provide enough incentive to encourage domestic mining and processing. This arrangement could be considered a win-win for both nations: the US gains total control over rare earth within its borders and earns extra tax revenues, while China has fewer resource depletion and environmental issues to deal with. However, a 1000 percent duty may not be a sufficient incentive to encourage domestic processing; an initial 2000 percent duty would be better.
Start using Thorium Molten Salt Reactors to simultaneously make thorium valuable, address climate change issues, and solve the spent nuclear waste problem. The DOE and DoD funded research at West Virginia University on methods to extract and separate rare earth elements and critical minerals from acid mine drainage and coal waste looks very promising.
