I read the tea leaves, Ricky, as do we all. it's not a hunch it's a distillation of 68 years, lots of education and the university of hard knocks. We know the US is a fractious place (for US, include Canada for all intents). You have Gaston County NC as a close to home example. We know the Biden administration is determined to ram home the new tech - its rejoining the Paris Accords on climate change, after all.
My point is about the size of the pivot, the temporary uniqueness of the resource and the crucial, strategic importance (not to mention political importance) of using 'Our' (their) homegrown resource to rewire the world.
Its about political optics. To use an exaggerated analogy it would be about Australia doing the same but relying on a mining company from Nauru to do the digging.
So, Ricky, no it's not a smell or hunch, it's not Elon on the warpath, Ford on the road again, GM being GM. It's about the American people and their yearning for 'Freedom' (or maybe, yearning for their kind of freedom for all of us - whom they know really need it). It's about Pax Americana, with 'murica in charge of all. Including ownership.
I just - because you asked - want to put the idea up as at least possible. I can see huge profits for all. Just that you lose control if it happens, given SYAs shareholding. The US is a lovely place, but an elephant is a kindly animal - until it rolls over you because it forgot you were there. This is NOT advice, just my financial ramblings!
