That looked like a nice car. He wants the people in the US to develop more metals processing. Good Luck! The anti mining groups seem to have a lot of clout. I think a lot of people don't realize that we need this stuff. There are a lot of ore bodies in North America that can't be touched because of anti mining clout.

@gigglehertz I grew up in one of those sparsely populated places. People do care. There's even a lot of people who do not live anywhere close that care. However, if mining is done right, it can be a win-win.

@kitthroneberry1577 I think the open pit iron mines in Minnesota and Northern Michigan have a pretty good record. I used to live close to one of the mines that is now shut down and it is a popular fishing spot. They've been mining in these areas for about 150 years.

@tsubadaikhan6332 And the rare earth metals occur with Thorium which is mildly radioactive. Sure we could build nuke plants and use this Thorium byproduct to fuel them for clean energy,.......but it ain't gonna happen.
