Rare Earth Mining Innovations: Anthony Mariano
2011-12-13 21:30:00 The Critical Metals Report: Dr. Mariano, let’s discuss some potential for rare earth elements (REEs) from a geological perspective. What is catching your attention outside of China? Anthony Mariano: Beach sand and river placer monazite occurs in plentiful supply in many countries outside of China. The rare earth oxide (REO) content of monazite is approximately 70 weight percent (wt%) and the distribution has a better intermediate REE content than bastnasite. Bastnasite is the world’s source at this time, and has been historically, for the light rare earth elements (LREEs). TCMR: If this type of sand deposit is available, why aren’t companies considering it?

6 Tech Innovations That Nobody Wants!
2009-06-07 14:21:00 Neal Stephenson pointed out something that struck a chord with me in “In The Beginning Was The Command Line”. He pointed out that car interfaces weren’t cursed with having to be “intuitive”; instead they made up steering wheels and gear shifts and all sorts of arcade controls. He expresses relief that cars weren’t invented in the computer age, or we’d have to steer with a mouse and change gears by clicking a drop-down menu. The moral of this story: some things can’t be improved upon. We have to realize when we got something right, and then leave it alone. Similarly, there are some things that nobody is ever going to want, and we just have to stop trying to invent them. Because – get ready for some politically-incorrect judgment – they are bad ideas!
