U.S. ‘very concerned’ about China’s dominance as a critical minerals supplier, energy chief says
By Sam Meredith

US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm:

• "we will be partnering with friends, like Australia"
• "We know all countries want to ensure that we have a critical stockpile of critical minerals and that we are allowed to diversify the supplies of those stockpiles. Both internationally and domestically, this is a focus of ours."
• "We feel very strongly though that both extraction and processing of those critical minerals have to be addressed, either by the United States or our allies. And that’s why we are working very closely to ensure that we have identified which raw materials [or] critical minerals we need to be able to do our transition to a clean energy economy."
