At the moment there are zero active tungsten mines in the United States. Sweet irony, there are several closed tungsten mines in Boulder County, Colorado. A coming conflict?
The influx of trust fund snots over the years has taken over many of the ‘quaint’ mountain towns. A lot of money is needed to live in, say, Telluride. How many know what telluride is, and its value? All that valuable ore is still there and starting new mining is feasible, if the political will is in force.
Here's a more detailed
look at the uses of telluride:
·
Solar Cells and Thermoelectric Devices:
Cadmium
telluride (CdTe) is a key material in the production of solar panels, according to Wikipedia. Tellurium is also
used in thermoelectric devices, which convert temperature differences into
electrical energy.
·
Rubber Vulcanization:
Tellurium
has been used to vulcanize rubber, a process that improves its elasticity and
durability, notes
The Royal Society of Chemistry.
·
Semiconductor Applications:
Tellurium
can be doped with other elements like silver, gold, copper, or tin to create
semiconductors, which are essential components in electronic devices.
·
Other Uses:
Tellurium
is also used to tint glass and ceramics, in rewritable CDs and DVDs, and as a
catalyst in oil refining
All that valuable ore is still there and starting new mining is feasible, if the political will is in force.
Will mining return to Colorado? It
will be a huge political fight.

Hehehe, THAT would definitely put the cat among the pigeons if they restart the mining up there! How gauche, there are 'working people' shopping in the grocery store!!!
Warms my evil heart just imagining it.
I Now Firmly Believe that The Nancy Pelosi, the Mueller, and the Adam Schiff Witch Hunt was Created, Promoted and Endlessly Trumpeted Round the Clock Every Day Ever since it Became evident that Mr. Trump COULD win the Election. This nucleus of a deadly form of CANCER Had INTENSIFIED as Soon as He Did Win Supposedly Against All Odds.
We've Heard about Very Little, and Almost NOTHING ELSE, Since the Election, and the Landside Win.. Except Mr. Trump’s Near Assignations. .
I was not all that enamored of Mr. Trump when he first threw his proverbial hat into the proverbial ring the first time, but at this point I am TOTALLY BESOTTED, AMAZED and ASTONISHED by him, because his vast army of DETRACTORS, and his ATTACKERS
are SO VICIOUS, SO VILE, SO BLIND TO GOODNESS, WISDOM AND TRUTH,, SO WICKED –– AND SO INCREDIBLY STUPID –– Mr. Trump has become a Great HERO simply for standing up to them with aplomb, while repelling the myriad Slings and Arrows that come His Way Every Hour, of Every Day, and never let;s up..
Those few who saw Donald Trump winning the 2016 election also saw Trump making history around the world as he negotiated with Terrorist’s. and Dictators of other nations around the world. . The world NOW takes him Very Seriously as he stands up to the thieves in the Democratic, Progressive Party.
This Man is not only GREAT, but he is COLOSSAL . I have come to realize that he is Our Last And Best Hope –– And Possibly Our ONLY Hope Left To Save This Country!..
If Mr. Trump Fails, Our Nation Fails, Our Freedom Will Be Lost, and the United states of America, as Founded, Will Soon Be Swept into the Dustbin of History I Firmly Believe That!
If You Don't Understand That Then, You Don't Belong Here in this Country. So Kindly Get out and Stay Out.
The press didn’t “miss” Biden’s decline. Because they chose to look away. They chose to fool the public with laughable excuses by calling serious mental lapses “gaffes,” confused ramblings “stuttering,” and public bewilderment “readability.” They knew dam well exactly what they were doing: building a false narrative, brick by brick, to try and drag their second class chosen candidate across the finish line.
This wasn’t incompetence at all, . It was collusion. It wasn’t a coincidence; it was outright corruption., it was an outright SCAM!
And it didn’t start with Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, and the entire ROTTEN bunch of them were in on it. .
The same Progressive Communist Democrat media cabal spent eight years whitewashing the Obama presidency, declaring it “scandal-free” while running interference on one corruption bombshell after another
Even when Hunter Biden’s foreign Cash Grabs threatened to expose the ugly truth about the Biden families racket, the not only didn’t the “press” investigate it; they assassinated the messengers. They blocked the story, the even censored the truth, and labeled factual reporting as “Russian Disinformation” without a shred of evidence! Where did we hear that BS before!.
And when Biden was visibly deteriorating before the world’s eyes, the same media mouthpieces were scrambling with more lies, and more BS to cover the truth..
So here we are today with another BIG SCANDAL to deal with! With more political operatives Disguised as Journalists.
Are the two Big Mouthed Wise-Ass- Girls and Jasmine Crockett trying to Sabotaging the Democrats chances in the 2028 election?
Well, maybe they are! Ever since President Trump wiped the floor with former Vice President Kamala Harris, and that moronic clown Tim Walz in last November’s landside , peeling off many formerly loyal Democratic voters from diverse communities, much of the talk has been about the Democratic Party being rudderless, leaderless and lost. Ad now that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezhas beaten Chuck Schumer to a Pulp, the Viewers of CNN and MSNBC — as well as many other left-of-center media outlets will have noticed that Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been making regular appearances of late. Why? Why have they both all of a sudden become so Out Spoken and so firmly hitting Trump so hard?
One explanation I have heard from Democratic operatives is that Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez are trying to fill the vacuum created by Harris’s loss, the absence of a clear 2028 frontrunner and a coherent agenda. With chaos comes opportunity — opportunity, perhaps, for them.
They are correct to believe that such chaos has created a timely window for them to generate a great deal of attention for themselves. But what cost might their rise inflict upon the Democratic Party in 2028?
It seems to me that the left is going even further left and are actually entertaining the notion of those two DINGBATS are slowly but very surely becoming the leaders and the face of their PATHETIC , and Miserably, Failing PARTY. Just look at how AOC and Bernie Sanders have teamed up to all but destroy Chuck Schumer! ..
Crockett and Cortez are among the most viable leaders of the Democrat Party and the Party's Bright New Generation, or whatever is left of the Old Party!
