We wanted to get away from dependency on Russia for gas, but now we're running into a new dependency – rare earths from China. We should take responsibility for our climate goals and not delegate this responsibility to countries that have significantly lower environmental and social standards, says CSS' Julian Kamasa in this interview with KlimaZeit of tagesschau24. Should and can we mine rare earths in Europe? Are there enough deposits of rare earths in Europe? You can find answers in the interview (from minute 6:07).
