The development of renewable energy in the United States is constrained by the Chinese rare earth market.

U.S. Republican Congressman Pat Faren wrote today (Beijing Time August 27): "In recent decades, the United States has lacked a thoughtful approach to promoting renewable energy, leading it to be dependent on China, which monopolizes the market for rare earth minerals needed for wind turbines."

[Pat Faren forwarded his article in The Hill: "Feel-good energy policy continues to have an impact — on China"]

[Smart] Comment: Pat Faren's point is correct, but the situation in the United States seems to have become more serious. Because the current U.S. president not only does not believe in global warming, but also strongly dislikes clean energy, even believing that wind turbines can cause cancer.
