"Industrial demand for certain REEs are projected to shoot up by as much as 2,600% by 2025 according to studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

Let me quote part of that again. "...demand...projected to shoot up by as much as 2,600%..."

And Canadian's seem well ahead of the US (again) in being on top of the trend.

"In January a new industry group called Canadian Rare Earth Elements Network, was established in cooperation with Natural Resources Canada to develop and research the sector. Canada's parliament launched a study of the country's REE industry in November which was released last week."

Natural Resources Canada, by the way, is a government entity.
