Rare-earth elements are important to the green energy revolution. China controls a lot of rare-earth elements as well as rare-earth refining. This is worth enough money they are considering building a refining site locally, which would be a good thing.
Wyoming is the least densely populated state in the continental US. The only state more sparsely populated is Alaska. So I'm not surprised there are things we don't know about what is there.

- s1artibartfast 3y agoPersonally, I prefer distinguishing between the lower 48 and the freak states
- rocqua 3y agoHow would the massive pollution from the refining be handled if it occurs locally?
