"DOD's Initiative to Secure Rare Earth Supply Chain from Mine to Magnet"

The Defense Department is working to establish a "mine-to-magnet" supply chain for rare earth materials, crucial for manufacturing permanent magnets used in various U.S. military weapons systems. With a focus on domestic supply chains, the DOD has awarded over $439 million to develop rare earth element supply chains, aiming to achieve a sustainable, mine-to-magnet supply chain capable of supporting all U.S. defense requirements by 2027. Several companies, including MP Materials, Lynas USA, Noveon Magnetics, TDA Magnetics, and E-VAC Magnetics, have received significant funding to establish rare earth mining, processing, and magnet manufacturing capabilities within the U.S., reducing reliance on foreign sources and enhancing national security.

"U.S. Company Challenges China in Solar Panel Manufacturing Amid Green Trade War"

First Solar, a company based in Perrysburg, Ohio, has managed to sustain solar panel manufacturing in the United States while most of the industry moved to China. President Biden's efforts to establish a large domestic green energy industry have authorized federal incentives for manufacturing solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, electric cars, and semiconductors. However, the viability of these investments remains uncertain due to China's dominance in industries like battery and solar panel manufacturing. First Solar's survival can be attributed to its panels not using polysilicon, a material mostly made in China. While some argue that importing panels from low-cost producers would be more cost-effective, others emphasize the importance of domestic production to reduce dependence on China and ensure a secure supply of panels. The world will need a significant increase in solar panel capacity to combat climate change, and First Solar's CEO is confident in the company's ability to expand U.S. production.
