Not at all, I'm in Western Australia and we've already agreed to build a commercial heavy rare earths (HRE) separation facility in Texas for the US DoD [1].
This is ideal, as central north americans that seek the upside of acres of thin film TV sets and excess consumption also get the toxic waste that comes with it while no longer having to complain about the Chinese having all the rare earths and associated waste.
I like that a lot better than having to tell Jill [2] that a bunch of people from across the planet want to fart and shit in her back yard (as you proposed).
Poor woman has seen her family through enough already.
