It seems to me that detectors and surveyors are all the USA needs, since deposits are likely in every portion of the globe, and we have as yet only tried a few places. What do they look like? How can you know you have them, (rare Earths) unless your search criteria is improved. So the problem is not lack, but identification. Once you have a detector or a quantifiable system, then you will find what you need in sufficient quantities. Especially true in California which has the geological formations you look for in discovering those elements. Please let me know what you find. Oklahoma also has mountains set on their sides, which could have a significant boost on your discovery processes. gregors@att.net

I’ve been seeing more of this coming to the forefront, but you’re right that it’s a hard sell. The London Times Online recently had an execellent article about this. Here’s the link – http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article7042598.ece
The terms you’ll be hearing are “resource husbanding” and “resource nationalism.” As oil prices start their climb to ungodly heights, and altfuel vehicles take off, you’ll see nations such as China hording rare metals like a fat kid at a pie-eating contest.
Interestingly, I caught an article stating the US has plenty of Lithium under its swollen butt. However, creating the facilities to process the stuff costs upwards to over a billion dollars. Compared to the wheelbarrows of my tax dollars rolled down Wall Street, it seems a bargain to get such an operation up and running. Make it a nationalized company like AmTrak and start sucking in the Big Bucks. I can’t find the original article mentioning this, but here’s one I pulled up from Duke University that pretty much covers the same territory – http://nicholas.duke.edu/thegreengrok/lithium
Anyway, food for thought until we all croak.
