President Joe Biden wants everyone driving an electric car, and every home powered by wind turbines and solar panels, but these technologies require rare earth elements and other critical minerals to function. China and other geopolitical rivals dominate raw and refined rare earth and critical mineral markets. President Joe Biden's green energy mandates makes the U.S. even more dependent upon China's good will for technologies critical to national defense. No good will come from trading dependence on OPEC to dependence on China, the Congo or Afghanistan.
