Critical Mass:

It’s truer to wonder whether the United States will have the luxury of looking back, as – in the second definition of critical mass, the one specific to nuclear physics – the chain reaction of Critical Mineral supply and the risk of Critical Mineral denial may in fact be underway, with self-sustaining consequences. [...] to target one part of the battery supply chain, this would likely be the most critical to provide short- and medium-term supply chain stability.” Which would make Nickel the most critical “non-Critical” – a status consistent with the word cloud we created based on the number of 100-Day Report mentions (footnotes included) of the metals and minerals that made the official U. [...] to target one part of the battery supply chain, this would likely be the most critical to provide short- and medium-term supply chain stability.” Critical Mass: Commentary on the White House 100-Day Supply Chain Report & the Importance of Critical Minerals to the U. [...] As the Department of Energy concludes: “The United States must adopt a set of tools to increase domestic battery manufacturing while improving the resilience of the lithium battery supply chain, including the sourcing and processing of the critical minerals used in battery production.” It’s a behemoth task, but, the good news is that in light of the United States’ mineral riches and technical know. [...] As the DIB report notes, Congress has ordered ‘DoD to [develop] a plan to reduce the barriers to the seamless integration across the National Technology and Industrial Base.’ Given the dangers of what the Pentagon Report calls China’s ‘economic aggression,’ it’s time to put this integration into overdrive.” Critical Mass: Commentary on the White House 100-Day Supply Chain Report & the Importance o.
