London | The European Union has issued a plan to cut its dependence on Chinese supplies of rare earths, lithium batteries and solar-cell components, as it tries to build a green-energy economy that isn't largely made in Beijing.
Brussels will bring industry, governments and NGOs into a "European Raw Materials Alliance", which will refashion the continent's supply chains for up to 30 critical products - including those used to make wind turbines, fuel cells, solar panels, magnets, drones and batteries for electric vehicles.
