senate 03/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing S. 823 to establish a coordinated effort between various governmental levels and the federal government aimed at reducing the United States' dependence on other nations, particularly China, for critical minerals and rare earth metals. This legislation seeks to enhance national security by securing and strengthening domestic supply chains, fostering cooperation, and developing sustainable practices in mining and mineral processing industries within the U.S.

I'll believe it when I see these minerals making their way into hometown jobs and not just boardroom profits.

So now we're pushing the 'China is the boogeyman' narrative through mineral legislation? Talk about digging deep!

We support American workers and sustainable practices. Cutting ties with exploitative supply chains sounds like a win to me!

Good luck coordinating all those agencies without getting bogged down in bureaucratic red tape!

If it reduces dependency on countries with poor human rights records, it's a rare gem of a bill!

We don't need more government task forces, we need market-driven solutions to resource independence.

A task force, huh? Let's hope it's not just another government committee that talks a lot but achieves little.

Seems like a practical step for national security, but what's the real cost of mining and processing these 'critical minerals' at home?

Finally, a bill that looks beyond partisanship and acts for our planet's future. Who knew rare earth metals could be this progressive?
