There’s no doubt that greener energy technologies require minerals like copper, nickel, cobalt, and other rare earth elements. These are the raw materials needed to build everything from cell phones to airplanes, computers, solar panels and self-driving cars. As the United States increases its use of renewable power, we will need rare earth minerals to manufacturer solar panels, battery, and other technologies.
