Then why steal oil from Venezuela? Oh yeah cause they are all corrupt crooks.

A weird thing to say from someone who is blocking deployment of EVs, solar, wind and batteries. What are they important for, after all?

Silver is the new oil

We would have no shortages if they didn’t fuck up international trade. We are governed by shitheads.

If that is the case, shouldn’t we be cozying up with those countries with vast amounts of rare elemental resources (like China) rather than framing them as a primary geopolitical adversary?

Metals are the new oil and oil is the new coal so we’re going all in on coal!

Then why did Trump screw up all the trade deals we’ve already had for decades of critical minerals ?

That’s why we’re having Nvidia take those critical minerals, turn them into the most advanced chips on the planet, and then send them to UAE and China!

Metal literally cannot be the new oil, since it’s not consumed when used.
Anyone pretending otherwise is full of bullshit or an idiot

Wait, the critical minerals that received incentives under Biden’s IRA bill?
The critical minerals that would be used in advanced manufacturing, which also received incentives under Biden’s IRA bill?
The critical minerals, that would supply advanced manufacturing, which produces the components necessary for energy generation and storage projects that received incentives under Biden’s IRA bill?
The critical minerals, that would supply advanced manufacturing, which produces the components necessary for energy generation and storage projects, which would have supplied plentiful and low cost energy for AI data centers and whatever else we might need it for?
It’s almost like the US had a well thought out industrial policy and then destroyed it in some kind of temper tantrum because it didn’t say “Trump” in big gold letters.

Like Trump, his private business ventures failed.

the rest of the world does fine with the few minerals that work well enough … and recycles them too.

So no one is buying your cars,or planes, or chips, or solar panels, or batteries because of Trump.
So why do you need rare earth metals?

It would be amazing if we could get energy prices down far enough so that we could make everything out of aluminum. Aluminum is amazing, it’s a super common ore, found all over the place, it recycles easily… it just takes too much electricity to refine so it’s expensive. But Aluminum houses would be great.
