A report on how China has become the world leader of rare earth metals, essential ingredients used in everything from smart phones and computers to cars and missiles. The U.S. began the cultivation of these materials at Molycorp, Inc.’s mine in Mountain Pass, California after geologists identified rare earth elements in the Mojave Desert, but it was shut down in 1998 due to environmental concerns. Meanwhile, China took over the industry since they have less environmental constraints around mining and lower labor costs, which translates into lower pricing. Molycorp Inc.’s Mountain Pass mine reopened in 2010. Includes interviews with: Constantine Karayannopoulos, chairman of Molycorp, Inc.; Daniel McGroarty, principal of Carmot Strategic Group; and Ed Richardson, president of the U.S. Magnetic Materials Association.

A report on nodules, rocks that contain essential minerals to build supercomputers, cell phones, and electric cars. Nodules form when shells or rocks on the ocean floor absorb metals from seawater. The minerals contained have an estimated net worth of $16 trillion. The process for collecting nodules is referred to as “harvesting” as opposed to “mining” as no robots, drilling, or digging will be used. The United States is not among the many countries preparing to harvest these minerals due to a failure to ratify a U.N. deep sea mining treaty. Those in favor of the U.S. ratifying the treaty say the country will end up reliant on China, which has the most comprehensive harvesting strategy, as these minerals become increasingly essential. Includes interviews with Gerard Barron, CEO of Deepgreen Metals; Warwick Miller, a geologist; Kris Van Nijen, managing director of Global Sea Mineral Resources; Dr. Craig Smith, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii; and Jonathan White, a retired rear admiral who runs a non-profit to protect oceans.
