&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mining and disposal of these elements add to the environmental damages and ecological burden&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Naturally abundant wind, geothermal, solar, tidal and electric energy are being hastened as the future of the planet&amp;#39;s energy needs. And rare earth elements are used in a bevy of technolgies to generate this cleaner, renewable energy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These include wind turbine magnets, solar cells, smartphone components, cells used in electric vehicles, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Also called rare earth metals, they comprise seventeen chemical elements &amp;mdash; 15 lanthanides (anthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium), scandium and yttrium.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Despite the name, rare earth elements are found abundantly in the Earth&amp;#39;s crust. They are widely dispersed and found in low concentrations that are not economically exploitable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Extraction and mining of rare earth metals involves similar land-use exploitation, environmental damage and ecological burden as any other mining operation. They are mined using extremely energy-intensive processes, spewing carbon emissions into the atmosphere and toxins into the ground.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mining and disposal of these elements add to the environmental damages and ecological burden&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Naturally abundant wind, geothermal, solar, tidal and electric energy are being hastened as the future of the planet&amp;#39;s energy needs. And rare earth elements are used in a bevy of technolgies to generate this cleaner, renewable energy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These include wind turbine magnets, solar cells, smartphone components, cells used in electric vehicles, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Also called rare earth metals, they comprise seventeen chemical elements &amp;mdash; 15 lanthanides (anthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium), scandium and yttrium.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Despite the name, rare earth elements are found abundantly in the Earth&amp;#39;s crust. They are widely dispersed and found in low concentrations that are not economically exploitable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Extraction and mining of rare earth metals involves similar land-use exploitation, environmental damage and ecological burden as any other mining operation. They are mined using extremely energy-intensive processes, spewing carbon emissions into the atmosphere and toxins into the ground.&lt;/p&gt;

Rare earth metals are used extensively in clean energy technologies. But how safe are they? -Shourabh Gupta

-Down to Earth Mining and disposal of these elements add to the environmental damages and ecological burden Naturally abundant wind, geothermal, solar, tidal and electric energy are being hastened as the future of the planet's energy needs. And rare earth elements are used in a bevy of technolgies to generate this cleaner, renewable energy. These include wind turbine magnets, solar cells, smartphone components, cells used in electric vehicles, among others. Also called rare earth metals, they comprise seventeen chemical elements — 15 lanthanides (anthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium), scandium and yttrium. Despite the name, rare earth elements are found abundantly in the Earth's crust. They are widely dispersed and found in low concentrations that are not economically exploitable. Extraction and mining of rare earth metals involves similar land-use exploitation, environmental damage and ecological burden as any other mining operation. They are mined using extremely energy-intensive processes, spewing carbon emissions into the atmosphere and toxins into the ground. Please click here to read more.
