Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Lots of things aren't sustainable.
20% (ish) of the population on the dole isn't sustainable
the money spent on disabled (physically and mentally) isn't sustainable
£millions spent consulting on various vanity projects (subsequently cancelled) isn't sustainable
Pushing headlong into technology and products that require RARE earth minerals doesn't sound sustainable to me either

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Despite their name, Rare Earth elements are not actually that rare, its just a misname thats stuck over the centuries.

Correct, technically they ‘rare; at all, but they all have very similar chemical properties, (check where they are on the periodic table, well other than Scandium), and only exist in nature as similar compounds, which means that separating and isolating each one tended to be a laborious and costly exercise.
Hence the name. Historically.
