“Industry observers predict China will be a net importer of rare earth materials by the year 2015. These observers believe China will not be able to supply even their own rare earth requirements for Clean Energy. Non-Chinese participants need to realize that all the stakeholders outside of China need to cooperate with one another to create those supply chains that can be globally competitive and diverse”, said Keith Delaney, Executive Director of REITA, Rare Earth Industry and Technology Association.
As an invited guest speaker at The Switch 360 stakeholder event in February, Mr. Delaney presented a highly interesting overview of the rare earth supply issues related to the wind industry.
