Will giving this money to built up solar and extract the needed neodyme/copper increase the worldwide deployment of solar and wind, or are the mines already run

Will giving this money to built up solar and extract the needed neodyme/copper increase the worldwide deployment of solar and wind, or are the mines already running at close to max capacity anyway and new developments are stalled by a lack of workforce, administrative decisions, or environmentalists?
If the response is 2, what's the real issue?
- ncmncm 4y agoMoney is diverted from build-out for political and military pressures. Is that "administrative"?
- orwin 4y agoI was talking about mines authorization in Peru (environmental blocks) and in China (administrative blocks). You did not respond to my question. Do you think your argument 'money to nuclear is bad cause it slows down renewables ' is really true? Aren't we close to max production capacity yet? And in this case, why not continue with nuclear instead of building new coal?
- ncmncm 4y agoYes, money is in fact fungible. No, we are nowhere near max production capacity, as demonstrated by prices still falling. Nobody is building new coal except China.
