Jimmy -- sadly enough the Americans seem to wait until they are pushed up against the wall before they react. Antimony is sitting abundantly in their own backyard on the Nolan. I read an article to-day talking about $220/barrel of oil by the end of 2011 - unbelievable theory. Again America has a good 200 -300 yr. supply of low rank coal sitting in their own back yard. With clean coal technology already known, do we have to wait for another crisis before CTLF becomes a necessity. Obama & Clinton backed this idea before the elections - more broken promises!
