Good read, thanks a lot. Wars over resources are always possible due to the wrong vision of the mineral deposits we actually can find on our planet. Just look at the REY-rich mud available near Marcus Island (Japan). This small seabed area can provide 62, 47, 32, and 56 years of annual global demand for Y, Eu, Tb, and Dy, respectively. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23948-5
