eBook: What President Trump Can Do With The American System 2.0
China didn't just outcompete America on critical minerals—it used predatory pricing to deliberately bankrupt U.S. operations like Mountain Pass. Meanwhile, Bank of England-led climate finance restrictions choked off credit to energy-intensive industries. The result? The U.S. now depends on adversaries for the minerals that run its economy and military.
The Trump Administration is fighting back—and the playbook isn't new. It's the American System.
DOD loans to MP Materials ($150M) and Vulcan Elements ($620M). A $10B Export-Import Bank loan for "Project Vault." Price guarantees and allied coordination through FORGE. Equity stakes in MP Materials ($400M), Trilogy Metals (10%), and Lithium Americas (5%).
These aren't bailouts. They're public credit tools—affordable loans, guaranteed price floors, and government equity stakes—designed to expand U.S. mining, processing, and manufacturing capacity. It's the same approach Alexander Hamilton used to industrialize a fledgling nation and FDR used to mobilize the Arsenal of Democracy.
Credit isn't debt. It's investment in future productivity. And it's how America wins the minerals war.

NASA's Artemis program is accelerating America's return to the Moon. With crewed Artemis II launching April 2026, a faster SLS launch cadence, and nuclear-powered lunar bases on the horizon, the U.S. is reclaiming space leadership — and building the foundation for Mars.
There's no resource crisis — only a technology crisis. The critical minerals challenge proves what counts as a "resource" is defined by our technology, not nature.
The U.S. is exposed on critical minerals — not just in the ground, but in how we process them. Ben Deniston on the higher-energy technologies that could close that gap for good.
The universe isn't a machine. Bruce Director makes the case that consciousness, creativity, and Plato are coming back to science — and why that matters for everything.
