I have a dissenting opinion.
The parallels between rare earths and oil are striking. Much like oil, while alternatives exist they are required in today's implementation of cornerstone technologies. Further, much like oil, they are controlled by country's whose agenda are antagonistic to Western values.
Its much easier to "sell out" to China then to change our production methods. I think we should all be aware of the problem.
