California is preventing insurance companies from canceling home coverage for LA wildfire victims in impacted zip codes over the next year.

 

The folks in these communities have suffered enough. They should not have to deal with the stress of home insurance on top of it all.

US lobbied Greenland rare earths developer Tanbreez not to sell to China

 

U.S. and Danish officials lobbied the developer of Greenland's largest rare earths deposit last year not to sell its project to Chinese-linked firms, its CEO told Reuters, adding it has been in regular talks with Washington as it reviews funding options to develop the island's critical minerals.

The move underscores the long-running economic interest U.S. officials have had in the Danish territory, well before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump began musing in recent weeks about acquiring it.

Rare earths have strong magnetic properties that make them critical to high-tech industries ranging from electric vehicles to missile systems. Their necessity has given rise to intense competition between Chinese and Western interests to ease China's near-total control of their extraction and processing.

Greg Barnes, CEO of privately held Tanbreez Mining, said U.S. officials who visited the project in southern Greenland twice last year had repeatedly shared a message with the cash-strapped company: do not sell the large deposit to a Beijing-linked buyer.

The U.S. State Department was not immediately available to comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. The Danish Foreign Ministry declined to comment.

Barnes ultimately sold Tanbreez to New York-based Critical Metals (CRML.O)

, opens new tab as part of a complex deal that will be complete later this year. Tanbreez aims to mine 500,000 metric tons annually of the crimson rare earths-containing mineral eudialyte as soon as 2026.

"There was a lot of pressure not to sell to China," Tony Sage, CEO of Critical Metals, told Reuters. Barnes accepted payment of $5 million cash and $211 million in Critical Metals stock for Tanbreez, far less than Chinese firms offered, Sage said.
