IRIS General Discussion, page-574

I worry about the use of the word sustainable in this quote: "Granholm said that the U.S. is currently updating its laws, including a 150-year-old mining regulation, to ensure the “sustainable and efficient” extraction of critical minerals." And the fact that "we will be partnering with friends like Australia & Canada". I read this as they prefer to get their supplies from overseas countries, so as not to damage their natural landscapes, and then process it in America.
