    Why are rare earth minerals so valuable?

    Apparently, a few rare earth elements are used in oil refining and
    nuclear power; others are important for wind turbines and electric
    vehicles; and more specialized uses occur in medicine and manufacturing.
    The rare earths have become crucial to modern life, but our dependence
    on them is mostly invisible to American consumers.
