Show Notes
Vulcan Elements, a small startup, has grown exponentially in a year, securing significant investments and contracts, including a $620 million Defense Department loan. Despite skepticism, they aim to challenge Chinas dominance in rare earth magnets, with a planned ten thousand ton factory. The CEO, a former Navy finance guy, believes they can out-cost China by staying fully decoupled. The future of this $918 million taxpayer bet remains uncertain, but Vulcans growth could reshape the magnet industry in North Carolina.
