The concentration of our mineral supply– who we buy it from– is also a problem. Of the 48 minerals I mentioned, China is a primary supplier for 26 of them. China is actually mentioned 375 times in the @USGS 204-page mineral commodity summaries report. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1997, we imported 100% of 11 minerals & 50% or more of another 26. Now, a little over 20 yrs later, our dependence has almost doubled. According to the @USGS, last yr we imported at least 50% of 48 minerals, including 100% of 18 of them. So, we’re going the wrong direction. — PolitiTweet.org

So why is this a problem? Whether we realize it or not, minerals are the foundation of our modern society. We use them in just about everything. But our foreign dependence threatens our national security & is driving jobs & industries to other countries. — PolitiTweet.org
