My understanding is that these rare-earths are not actually rare - what's rare is:
1. A country that will let you mine them
2. Refinery capacity
Right now I believe the only refineries are in Australia and China but for obvious reasons the US is quickly trying to figure out how to build on here along with semi conductor fabs.
