Kmack, Chico237, Douginil: Pini Althaus of USA Rare Earth quoted in this article:

Snip... "Whereas the US produces some of the minerals mentioned above, it entirely relies on China and other countries for many other supplies. Cerium is used in batteries and in most devices with a screen and magnets forged from neodymium and samarium are impervious to extreme temperatures that are used in fighter jet fin actuators, missile guidance, control systems, aircraft and tank motors, satellite communications and radar and sonar systems.
Supply chain."...

..."Founder and advisor to the board at USA Rare Earth Pini Althaus tells Global Defence Technology: “That’s an extremely precarious position for any country to be in. The only way to have a secure supply chain is to start developing projects in this country [the US].”

Snip...

"Althaus thinks REE infrastructure could be built in a safe way and the problem that does not allow the break-away from Chinese dependence lies in the red tape. “It’s so much bureaucracy around permissions, you’ve got NGOs and others that step in the way and make it very difficult for projects in certain parts of the country to actually be developed,” he says.

“And we’re not talking about going into a national forest and start to mine there. We’re talking about places where you’d have a mine in Nevada or elsewhere, where there really no environmental concerns. But concerns are being either invented, fabricated or manufactured."
