[quote:Anonymous Coward 1240796:MV8xMzM1Mzg0XzIxOTUxNzM0XzNBQkJGNjM4] [quote:Ex-AFOSI] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1240796] This medieval thinking of US and THEM needs to stop. There is no us and them, just us as in we. Countries mean very little and should not be so revered. We are all one. [/quote] Bet you wouldn't go and live in North Korea. [/quote] You get your news from the "public", yet all the significant events happen in the "private". So you perceive the us and them rhetoric, as you are supposed to. And it has its results.

Quote;
"Stronger, lighter magnets could enter the market in the next few years, making more efficient car engines and wind turbines possible.
Researchers need the new materials because today's best magnets use rare-earth metals, whose supply is becoming unreliable even as demand grows.
So researchers are now working on new types of nanostructured magnets that would use smaller amounts of rare-earth metals than standard magnets. Many hurdles remain, but
GE Global Research hopes to demonstrate new magnet materials within the next two years
."
This could be one more reason GE has so much clout in the White House.
