Access to minerals means a more secure America. Minerals are among the most important components in the technologies protecting our nation.
The U.S. is home to more than $6.2 trillion worth of minerals and metals. Yet delays in our current mine permitting process have put our nation at the bottom of the list of top mining countries, sending mining jobs overseas and forcing U.S. manufacturers to increasingly rely on mineral imports. This is a policy issue that needs to be addressed.
The technologies that define innovation today all depend on minerals—from lifesaving medical devices to hybrid cars and advanced energy technologies.
