This is a global market. It's the same way we think about oil. If in one place in the world something happens, it affects us all. Over time this is what is going to happen with these critical minerals. We may not see it today because they're a smaller part of the market, but that is where we're headed. The strategic question is this: Should we care about who owns this multi-hundred billion dollar market and access to the critical minerals that will empower a dozen industries in the future? Should we care who controls those industries? I think we should.
