From the revival of America’s manufacturing base to the race for critical minerals like dysprosium and terbium, Wargo outlines how projects in Utah, Brazil, and Australia could redefine global supply chains. He also explains the U.S. government’s growing role — from price guarantees for NdPr to investments in domestic processing — and why, this time, the West is serious about building industrial independence. 💡 We’re going back to building things that last.
