British sea bed could be mined for key metals to end reliance on China (msn.com)

This will not go down well with eco-worries, China will rule in 20 years.

I doubt it will take 20 years.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

China has 44 million tons or 38% of the world's reserves of rare earth minerals and they produce far more than any other nation.  The USA has only 1.5 million tons of reserves and is the second largest producer, but imports most of what it needs from other countries.  Russia has 10% of world reserves.  Europe has and produces so little that it doesn't even appear on this map: https://www.mining.com/web/rare-earth-elements-where-in-the-world-are-they/

We had better hope that Vietnam and Brazil step up to the plate.

Not a good situation when one considers how much of this stuff the world will need in order to do all the things that we're told we must do over the next 20 years.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Is there a cure yet for assteroids Charlie?

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.
