First U.S. rare earth mine in 70+ years opens | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: The U.S. has opened its first rare earth mine in over 70 years in North Wyoming, aiming to reduce dependence on China, which supplies 70% of global rare earth minerals. The Ramaco mine holds six of the 17 critical rare earth elements, potentially supplying the U.S. for 150 years. These minerals are essential for tech products and military hardware, including the F-35 stealth fighter. Unlike California’s Mountain Pass mine, Ramaco’s deposit is soft rock, shallow, and vast. This development comes amid concerns after China halted exports in retaliation to U.S. tariffs and invested heavily worldwide in rare earth assets.
For the first time in more than seven decades, the U.S. has opened a rare earth mine. Officials say they hope it will help kickstart a new age of American energy independence. Those minerals are crucial in the manufacturing of both tech products and military hardware.

Stormy siblings: What separates a Tropical from a Subtropical Storm?
SUMMARY: In the CSRA, people often hear about tropical and subtropical storms during hurricane season. Tropical storms are fueled solely by warm ocean waters, similar to a gas-guzzler car, with a well-defined warm core. Subtropical storms, like hybrid cars, get energy both from warm ocean water and from the contrast between warm and cold air, allowing them to form over cooler waters and have a cooler center higher up. Despite their differences, both storm types can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding. It’s important to stay informed and prepared regardless of the storm classification.

‘El Chapo’s’ son accepts deal with U.S. government, pleads guilty to drug charges
SUMMARY: Ovidio Guzmán López, son of notorious drug lord “El Chapo,” pleaded guilty to four federal charges related to operating a faction of the Sinaloa cartel, including drug distribution and continuing criminal enterprise. He faces a possible life sentence but is expected to receive a reduced term due to a plea deal. As part of the arrangement, 17 family members were granted U.S. asylum under witness protection. Ovidio was extradited to the U.S. in 2023. His brother Joaquín, arrested last year, faces drug trafficking charges with prosecutors seeking the death penalty and is negotiating his own deal. “El Chapo” remains imprisoned for life.
