  • Mining Coal Ash Beats Buying Greenland

    Mining Coal Ash Beats Buying Greenland
    2026/01/22
    In this episode we challenge the idea that acquiring Greenland’s resources is the best path to strategic strength and show why mining coal ash and domestic materials could beat a costly Arctic gamble. We explain how the United States already sits on billions of dollars worth of rare earths and critical minerals trapped in coal ash piles, landfills and recycled waste streams and how building the industrial capacity to process those resources at home can deliver jobs, supply chain resilience and economic advantage without chasing distant territory.

    We break down the contrasts between Greenland resource myths and the practical reality of freedom mining closer to home, including why existing materials recovery facilities can ramp up in a fraction of the time it takes to build new mines, and why foreign processing dominance still matters no matter the location of raw ore.

    This conversation delivers clear analysis on rare earth strategy, supply chain sovereignty and the evolving economics of critical minerals for metals professionals, investors and policy thinkers who want to understand where real leverage lies.
