Interior Secretary Deb Haaland Left Stunned As Rep. Pete Stauber BLASTS Her For Lying Under Oath

List of “Critical Minerals” from office.



Biden Interior Secretary literally starts crying during a congressional hearing: "All of this is because climate change is the crisis of our lifetime!"



Sorry for the double listing of "Critical Minerals" in the heading.

Well, he certainly let her know what he thought of her performance.

A bit of grandstanding on his part perhaps, but the real question is: Will his harsh words bring about any positive benefit for miners?

She left "stunned". If she takes her thrashing humbly, and is determined to do a better job, then great. But, if all he did was make an enemy...well, she's still the Sec. of the Interior and I doubt our lot will improve as a result.

Just my two cents worth....

A person has got to get the "facts" right BEFORE they open their mouth ! Some times I have to listen to my own words ! Think before you open your mouth!

Hunter1805, the video posted directly pertains to mining, questioning Sec of Interior about mining restrictions as such does not violate our rules on politics, but your reply post was purely political and violates our rules on politics.

Please post political comments only in our politics forum.👍

Any reports made from this investigation will be on topic that is "Critical Minerals" and the handling of.

If there is going to be a new layer of paper work for anything "Critical Minerals" it will likely come out in a report.

Biden-Harris Administration Protects Chaco Region, Tribal Cultural Sites from Development

Secretary Haaland withdraws public lands surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park from future leasing, mining claims

6/2/2023

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland took action today to protect the cultural and historic resources surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park from new oil and gas leasing and mining claims. President Biden first announced efforts to protect the greater Chaco landscape at the White House Tribal Nations Summit in November 2021. A new public land order withdraws public lands within a 10-mile radius of the park for 20 years, subject to valid existing rights, and responds to decades of efforts from Tribes, elected officials, and the public to better protect the sacred and historic sites and Tribal communities currently living in northwest New Mexico.

Today’s action is informed by extensive public engagement, including significant consultation with Tribal Nations. The withdrawal applies only to public lands and federal mineral estate and does not apply to minerals owned by private, state or Tribal entities. It does not affect valid existing leases; during the 20-year withdrawal period, production from existing wells could continue, additional wells could be drilled on existing leases, and Navajo Nation allottees can continue to lease their minerals.

But her return to Chaco Culture National Historical Park on Sunday was derailed when a group of Navajo landowners blocked the road, upset with the Biden administration’s recent decision to enshrine for the next 20 years what previously had been an informal 10-mile (16-kilometer) buffer around the World Heritage site.

China just fought back in the semiconductor exports war. Here’s what you need to know.

The country aims to restrict the supply of gallium and germanium, two materials used in computer chips and other products. But experts say it won’t have the desired impact.

Rare Earth Elements: Where in the World Are They?

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/rare-earth-elements-where-in-the-world-are-they/

The 17 rare earth elements are: lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y).



Scandium and yttrium are not part of the lanthanide family, but end users include them because they occur in the same mineral deposits as the lanthanides and have similar chemical properties.



The term “rare earth” is a misnomer as rare earth metals are actually abundant in the Earth’s crust. However, they are rarely found in large, concentrated deposits on their own, but rather among other elements instead.
