Small Quake Shakes Off Oregon Coast This Weekend As Another Rattles Alaska

(Bandon, Oregon) – A small earthquake shook off the southern Oregon coast early Saturday morning, clocking in at a minor 4.0 in magnitude. Meanwhile, a larger quake rattled parts of southern Alaska a bit later in the day, reminding some Oregonians of the quake there that caused a tsunami here in the 60s.

The undersea quake took place about 250 miles off the south coast, this time in more of a straight line westward from Dunes City instead of the usual Coos Bay or Reedsport. At a magnitude 4.0 it was not strong enough to generate a tsunami; it takes at least a 7.0 to do that. The quake shook at 5:33 a.m. Saturday at a depth of about six miles.
US May Boost Rare Earths Mining to Counter Threat From China
WASHINGTON The Chinese communist regime has recently signaled that it could leverage its dominance in rare earth minerals, a threat that has prompted the Biden administration to take action to reduce U.S. reliance on China for rare earths that are used in everything from smartphones to electric vehicles to fighter jets.
In 1992, Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping predicted the importance of rare earths to China’s future when he famously said: “The Middle East has oil. China has rare earths.”
Today, China is the dominant global supplier of the minerals, a group of 17 chemical elements used in the production of critical components of key technologies, which could easily be used as a weapon against other countries in a trade war or a conflict.
