On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that one reason why China has control over the global rare earth minerals market is because zoning and environmental laws have made it too difficult for America to mine for rare earth minerals itself.
Bill Maher pleads with Democrat Senator Tina Smith to cut the 'blue tape':
Bill Maher: "We have one place here in California: Mountain Pass, they have rare earth mine there. It takes out of the ground in 1 year what China does in a day.
Could we build rare earth mines?

Watch Carney on this file, my bet is that if elected he will help ensure China maintains its dominance by feeding the “environmentalist” efforts to halt rare earths mining in Canada.
