Nicely done, ma'am. Thank you.

For readers interested in greater depth regarding the minerals mining issues both nationally and globally, I would recommend Ernest Scheider's book, "The War Below."

Some questions: Was there a specific reason for cancellation of the Ambler Road project, or just hand-waving?

Assuming that the DOE is not stupid, where does it propose to get the necessary minerals for renewables production? Bryce, Mills, Doomberg and others have pointed to minerals as being the fatal flaw in the green new deal (actually, one of MANY flaws, but that's for a different blog); does the administration have so much faith in the United Nations that it is willing to sacrifice energy security for botany?

The Obama-Trump-Biden flip/flops have been going on for years; no better example exists than the Yucca Mountain Project. Every republican president (until Trump) pushed for its development; every democratic president sabotaged it, despite the fact it was mandated by Congress. Until Congress reasserts its constitutional role as the legislative power and takes back the administrative power its has relinquished to the executive branch, such flip/flops in policy will become standard.

Keep up the great work! Minnesota is controlled by communists - heck, the federal government is as well...
