· And rare earth mining, whether legal or not, entails shocking environmental costs. Research has found that producing one tonne of rare earth ore (in terms of rare earth oxides) produces 200 cubic metres of acidic waste water. The production of the rare earths needed to meet China's demand for wind turbines up to 2050 (in a scenario of radical wind power expansion) will result in the .
