I disagree with some of his statements. We are in a cold war with the CCP. We need to have our own lithium plants, and our own technology. Rare earth metals aren't rare. Just a pain, and toxic to mine. We are moving away from China, because if we didn't? They'd have incredible leverage against us. Companies wouldn't have incentives to move away, because we can't compete. We need to view the wider picture. Also China doesn't play fair, and started the trade war. Outside of that I agree with him.

@HansSchulze Watch the videos about Sandy talking about some choices politicians have made that hurt the automotive industry, but are good geopolitically, and for our security. We are in a cold and trade war. Sandy isn't thinking long term. Cobalt? I didn't bring up cobalt. You did. I said rare earths. Like lithium, neodynium, germanium, etc. China does have leverage on cobalt through deals struck with the Congo government. Also germanium with Myanmar. Yet as you said Cobalt is being substituted out.
