US companies work to ramp up domestic rare earth manufacturing

China has dominated the Rare Earth Element supply chain for decades. The U.S. is working to build out its own facilities, using more environmentally friendly manufacturing.

Some versions of the billboards advertised California's easily obtainable abortions b...
