re <<After using a $50,000 grant to test whether useful elements can be extracted from phosphate mining and farming waste, a local environmental firm is declaring success.>> ... sounds like state subsidy to me. How about to you? Per often repeated conjecture that imperatives lead to solutions, good news for the world w/r to rare earth … As it should be expected, that the folks who work most closely and on commercial basis on anything are most likely to improve even disruptively on what needs getting done. Let’s see the competition do their feasibility studies and try best not to violate IP of another. The mistake the Neo-anybodies make is that they think of all others as cretins, morons, dullards, and and and, and they might be correct at times, but whenever they are wrong, and that be most of the times, they end up consequentially wrong scmp.com Chinese scientists find faster way to extract rare earths that may also cut industry pollution Team’s process uses a new material to separate out the minerals used in hi-tech products – shortening extraction time from days to 20 minutesMaterial can also be recycled and will reduce production and environmental costs, according to lead researcher Sun Xiaoqi

just fantastic wonderfully bullish 2020 is in the bag forbes.com Trump Administration Rebrands Fossil Fuels As "Molecules Of U.S. Freedom" James Ellsmoor The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has apparently started referring to fossil fuels as “molecules of freedom” and specifically natural gas as “freedom gas" , according to its latest press release. In a statement announcing an increase of natural gas exports, energy officials used the surprising new terms. The statement announces the expansion of a facility in Quintana, Texas, that produces liquefied natural gas (LNG) for worldwide export. “Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America’s allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy. Further, more exports of U.S. LNG to the world means more U.S. jobs and more domestic economic growth and cleaner air here at home and around the globe,” said U.S. Under Secretary of Energy Mark W. Menezes. “I am pleased that the Department of Energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of U.S. freedom to be exported to the world,” said Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg, who signed the export order. *?

Trump signed two executive orders aimed at promoting energy infrastructure by directing federal agencies to make specific changes meant to remove bottlenecks to natural gas transport in the Northeast and streamline federal reviews of border-crossing pipelines and other infrastructure. © 2019 Bloomberg Finance LP The announcement was made at the Tenth Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM10) in Vancouver, Canada where the DOE says it is “highlighting its efforts to advance clean energy.” Ministers gathered in Vancouver, Canada, with the goals of accelerating progress towards a clean energy future. The CEM10 website outlines its aims for the summit as: High-level policy dialogue and sharing of best practices to help accelerate the transition to a low carbon future.International collaboration on clean energy innovation and adoption of clean energy policies and practices.Public-private engagement to build cooperation among industry, government, and civil society to scale up clean energy around the globe.The U.S. Government's statement overshadowed clean energy commitments by other nations at CEM10, which consists of 24 countries and the EU that together account for 90% of all investment in clean energy in the world and 75% of global GHG emissions. *?

ASSOCIATED PRESS The language has been met with widespread criticism, with Jay Inslee, the Governor of Washington running for the Democratic presidential nomination with an emphasis on climate change saying: “This has to be a joke.” In a later tweet he added: "I invite @SecretaryPerry and the Department of @Energy to come to Washington state to see our freedom panels and our freedom turbines." The term “freedom gas” may have originated during a visit by U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry to the European Union in April. Perry has been known for natural gas consumption and freedom, stating that: “Seventy-five years after liberating Europe from Nazi Germany occupation, the United States is again delivering a form of freedom to the European continent. And rather than in the form of young American soldiers, it’s in the form of liquefied natural gas.” Using patriotic terms to distract from key political issues has been used by previous administrations. The term " freedom fries" was proposed in 2003 to show the government's displeasure as France opposed the invasion of Iraq. Then Republican Congressmen Walter B. Jones and Robert W. Ney even pushed the House of Representative’s restaurants to rename French toast as "freedom toast". ? Read Also: Are Electric Vehicles Really Better For The Environment? A banner reading “Trump Digs Coal” is displayed during a rally with U.S. President Donald Trump, in Charleston, West Virginia. © 2018 Bloomberg Finance LP After taking office, President Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, arguing that it disadvantaged U.S. companies. The decision received widespread criticism from across the world, with campaigners accusing the administration of threatening any hope of global collaboration on climate action. The White House is also continuing to roll back environmental regulations, dismiss predictions about climate change impacts and restrict the language used by government scientists. These actions go against mainstream public opinion, with 72% of Americans saying that they consider climate change to be a moderate, serious, or imminent threat and more Americans supporting than opposing the implementation of a carbon tax.

Elroy, why are you still wasting time making mud pies in your amateur California ceramics studio? You could be using your extensive business contacts and chemistry knowledge to produce rare earth "Elements of U.S. Freedom" via that clever new nontoxic technology in Florida! :-)
