Companiile mexicane de transport rutier au lansat luni o grevă națională pe termen nedeterminat, protestând față de lipsa de securitate pe autostrăzi, furtul de marfă, extorcare și creșterea costurilor de operare, cu demonstrații planificate în principalele centre logistice de-a lungul frontierei dintre SUA și Mexic.

Protestele ar putea perturba transportul de mărfuri prin unele dintr
Timp de ani de zile, Occidentul a căutat o cale de ieșire tehnologică din dependența de pământurile rare. Inginerii au dezvoltat noi designuri de motoare, chimii alternative pentru magneți și materiale care reduc sau chiar elimină nevoia pentru unele minerale critice.

Dar ele nu răspund la întrebarea pe care producătorii trebuie să o rezolve astăzi. Capacitatea de producție a devenit principala resursă rară. Această conștientizare alimentează unul dintre cele mai ambițio
