of the whole world's raw rare earth materials, the US produces only less than 2%. More than 90% of the whole world's raw rare earth materials have to be processed in China into various oxides before they can be further used in industry.  This is because only China has the necessary and patented rare earth processing technology.  So what are you puffing at here???  I suggest you read well before you utter any laughable comments in the future!  It only illustrates your utter ignorance!!!
