Is The Rare Earth Supply Crisis Due to Peak Production Capability or Capacity

September 6, 2009

A Different Environmental Threat: Peak Rare Minerals, China, and Green Technology | michaelperelman.wordpress.com

The current "crisis" in the media in the supply of rare earth metals is most likely due to nothing more sinister than mining capacity in China, the country which today produces some 97% of the world's supply of rare earth metals. There is sufficient accessible by current technology rare earth mineralization in North America, Australia, Southeast Asia ,Viet Nam, and South Africa to not only make world industry independent of China, but, ultimately, and soon, to supply China's domestic shortfalls.

Audi U.S. president Johan de Nysschen addresses Chevrolet Volt is for idiots firestorm via Facebook | www.autoblog.com

The Audi USA president is simply vocalizing what is on everyone's mind in the OEM automotive world. His basic sentiment that the Volt is an idiotic concept is widely shared wherever in the world cars are designed , built, and marketed by existing mass producers.

The Rare Earth Security of Supply Crisis in Simplified Form

September 3, 2009

China tries to calm unease over rare earths curbs | news.yahoo.com

China's domestic use of its domestic production of the rare earth metals used accross the board in and critical to many if not most green technologies has caused it to restrict exports of these rare metals for years. The economics of Chinese rare earth production caused all other world producers to cease mining them years ago. Chinese domestic demand is now approaching Chinese domestic supply. The sleepy world of natural resource use and finance now calls this hoarding.. The Chinese are not amused.

Autoblog Misunderstood What Bill Ford Said About Batteries Used By Ford

August 20, 2009

Chevy Volt's 230 mpg rating, ad campaign comes under fire from Bill Ford, AdAge | green.autoblog.com

The Autoblog.com article I am analyzing is poorly edited, poorly fact-checked, and poorly written. William Clay Ford, could not have said what the article attributed to him in the context described.

Is The Chevrolet Volt Only A Fair Weather Car?

August 12, 2009

How did GM arrive at 230 mpg for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt? | www.autoblog.com

All this nonsense about the Chevrolet Volt's fuel use and performance is just hot air until the car is on the road and its actual performance under real driving conditions and with ordinary drivers is measured. I propose a side-by-side test of the Prius and the Chevrolet Volt to settle which is the more practical and versatile car.

Fast Charging EV Batteries Is A Problem Not A Solution

August 9, 2009

Electric Car Charge Stations: The Next Third Space? | www.thebigmoney.com

The cart is dragging the horse as the economically and electrical engineering clueless are now debating where to put the infrastructure for recharging (fueling) electric cars. All we have to do is change the transportation fueling, the shopping habits, and the daily routines we have built up over the last 100 years as soon as possible. Not quite. We' will also have to reconstruct our electric power distribution grid and avoid fast charging except in emergency situations. What was that?

Is General Motors backing Off Of The Chevrolet Volt Type Plug-In Hybrid?

August 8, 2009

New Buick Plug-In Hybrid Due By 2011: Breaking News | www.popularmechanics.com

The new Buick "two mode" hybrid is not an evolution of the Chevrolet Volt power train as this article in Popular Mechanics implies; the Buick (mild) "hybrids rather a step back for GM, and I think, an admission that all is not right with the Chevrolet Volt either in performance and range to be delivered or in marketability. GM made a misstep listening to Rick Wagoner and Bob Lutz both say that there was no future to the full hybrid exemplified by the outstandingly successful Prius.

Toyota Is Closing A Unionized Former GM Plant That Toyota Doesn't Need

August 5, 2009

In a First, Toyota Is in Talks to Close a Plant | www.nytimes.com

The reporting of this event completely misses the point. NUMMI, New United Motors, Manufacturing, was created when Toyota was much weaker and GM was strong. It was used by both companies to learn from the other's manufacturing engineering technology. Forty years ago GM decided and published a prediction that the US car market would grow to 28 million units a year by 2000. Then GM and the rest of the world's OEM automotive industry began to try to build the capacity to fit this fantasy.

First Solar's Cadmium Telluride Thin Film Technology For Solar Energy Conversion For Sustainable Energy Production May Have Reached The Limit Of The Production Rate For Its Critical Natural Resources

July 12, 2009

Strategies for investing as inflation looms | www.latimes.com

There are three material based technologies for the production of sustainable energy by the conversion of sunlight to electricity by thin-film photovoltaic devices:   1, Amorphous silicon, 2. Cadmium telluride, and 3. Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide There is no shortage possible of silicon, but there are limits to both the rate of production of cadmium, tellurium, indium, gallium, and selenium and the total amount of each of them that can be recovered altogether. Today we're going to look at The tellurium (Supply) Conjecture.
