US OSPREY NEST-FOOTBALL FIELD
DESCRIPTION: APPLE VALLEY, Minn. — An ospray nest with chicks atop a light pole at a Minnesota high school’s football field has forced the school to rearrange its schedule, switching to games in daylight instead of at night because heat from the lamps would endanger the birds. Officials at Apple Valley High School are using drones to monitor the nest, and once the chicks fly off they can remove the nest and return to night games.

US–RARE EARTHS
DESCRIPTION: Domestic production of the strong magnets needed in electric vehicles, robots, jet fighters and other high-tech products is expected to expand rapidly in the coming years, as the Trump administration is ramping up efforts to rebuild the U.S. critical mineral industry to eventually break the chokehold Beijing has over its global supply chain. Hundreds of millions in federal funds are flowing to U.S. mining, processing and manufacturing companies, and the administration has made a bold move of agreeing to a price floor in one case the industry hopes will be replicated. It has launched a national security investigation into foreign-made critical mineral products, and Congress has approved billions of dollars towards the goal of achieving independence from China.
