Thinking Twice About Electric Cars and Wind Energy By Roni Bell Sylvester

Some interesting facts about neodymium:

The electric motors of each Toyota Prius require 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of neodymium.

Electric generators for wind turbines; up to 600 kg of PM material per megawatt (Neodymium content is estimated to be 31% of magnet weight).

Neodymium in electric vehicles is estimated to be 5 times larger than that in wind turbines.

China produces more than 95% of rare earth elements, and produces 76% of the world's total rare earth magnets.
In other words, China (with no regard to environment or human rights) has the global monopoly on mining Neodymium. Its Neodymium mining not only poisons its waterways and land (including China's Agriculture land) it is the cause of such -including pancreatic cancer - in workers.

And to think federal mandates you invest in these things (wind energy, electric vehicles) whether you want to, can afford to, know there's zero financial return, or are opposed to because its violations against humanity!
