No big surprise there, well not to me at least, but probably is to the moronic climate alarmists that infest this internet backwater.
A new scientific study supported by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure warns that the renewable energy industry could be about to face a fundamental obstacle: shortages in the supply of rare metals.
To meet greenhouse gas emission reduction targets under the Paris Agreement, renewable energy production has to scale up fast. This means that global production of several rare earth minerals used in solar panels and wind turbines—especially neodymium, terbium, indium, dysprosium, and praseodymium—must grow twelvefold by 2050.

It isn't a matter of finding DIFFERENT ways to fuck the planet- it's a matter of changing life-styles.

The vast majority of rare earths come from China. I invested in an American company called Molycorp, a while back which thrived for a while until the Chinese dropped their prices to kill off the competition. This is a potentially huge problem and few trite sentences from you won't do anything but reveal your ignorance.

My understanding is that just mining Rare Earth Metals is 'dirty'.
