U.S. Military Defense Fails Without Vanadium?
The metal vanadium is needed for numerous military applications, including jet engines, airframes, and ballistic missiles. And although the U.S. Govt. considers vanadium critical to national security, less than 5% of the metal is mined in America. This means we're at the mercy of China and Russia for our supply.
Bull of the Day: Pilgrims Pride (PPC)
Energy Storage Trend Ignites Frenzy Over Vanadium Supply
As the world shifts to renewables such as wind and solar, how will we store all this energy? Vanadium batteries are the breakthrough that some experts predict will be the future of grid-scale energy storage. The problem is, only 5% of vanadium is mined in the U.S. - and China and Russia have a stranglehold on our supply.
