BWC Member Heidi Crebo-Rediker spoke on the podcast Odd Lots, where she argued that the United States has an opportunity to enter the rare earths market in a way that can compete with China’s dominance in the industrial ecosystem. Rather than trying to outspend or out-process China, she suggests the US should leverage its strength of innovation, recovery, and recycling- an easier and more cost-effective approach to prepare against future supply shocks.
