A Swedish company, LKAB, said in a press release that it uncovered more than 1 million metric tons of rare earth oxides.
This is important for 2 reasons:
1. This material is essential for an array of products ranging from cellphones to wind turbines and electric car engines.
2. Currently China dominates the market in rare earth minerals as well as General Tso’s Chicken; two things we must have to maintain our way of life!
Sign the petition to establish a national holiday honoring Sweden to show our gratitude for all they have done for America. This is Sweden’s second significant contribution to fighting a climate change disaster; the first being activist Greta Thunberg, founder of Fridays for Future. Additionally they have given us affordable do-it-yourself furniture that is so much fun to assemble, the Volvo, crepes that double as pancakes, A Man Called Ove, Ingmar Bergman (eh?), savory meatballs that are the standard by which all other meatballs are judged, Lisbeth Salander, Malin Akerman and Alicia Vikander. We owe them Big Time!
Tack så mycket, Sverige!
