A new era — conversation with Dr. Chirantan on Australia’s rare rarths

Rare earth minerals — the so-called rare elements — have become the backbone of clean and sustainable energy for the future. These are the very elements that play a vital role in everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines, solar panels, and modern technologies. But the questions arise: Where do these minerals come from? Where does Australia stand in this global race? And what impact will the recent agreement with the United States have on Australia’s resources and the geopolitics of global energy?
