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

September 6, 2009

Analysis by:Jack Lifton, Managing Director,

Analysis of: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.

Will The Chevrolet Volt Even Be Built as A Production Model? That's The Question

September 4, 2009

Analysis by:Jack Lifton, Managing Director,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:Jack Lifton, Managing Director,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:Jack Lifton, Managing Director,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:Jack Lifton, Managing Director,

Analysis of: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.
