What does it mean to get in the weeds? Sometimes, it means digging through senate transcripts. Consider the Committee on Armed Services Testimony “Rebuilding Supply Chains:”
“Those appropriations have already paid dividends. Last year, the Pentagon signed deals with MP Materials and a consortium of Vulcan, ReElement, and Corning for magnet production. Another investment went to ElementUSA, which will be making progress on obtaining gallium and scandium from a recycling process. We have brought Australia, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia into deals where mining or refining opportunities do not exist here in the United States.”
Notice how Corning is casually mentioned there as a member of the ReElement consortium? First I had heard, how about you?
