And then the third thing which we obviously hear about the most probably is the environmental implications because we actually don't know. We don't, it's not that we know it's good or we know it's bad, it's we haven't really done it at commercial scale. So there's still a lot of questions about how to manage that.
So I want to actually go back to Trump's first administration. It was really 2017 where President Trump passed the first executive order mandating that we take a better look at our supply chains, understand our vulnerabilities and identify what we need to do. So this was started under Trump's first administration.
Then we went to Biden and President Biden actually built on the efforts of President Trump. And the big thing that President Biden did was obviously the Inflation Reduction Act, which created a demand signal. It encouraged you to buy the EV. And by encouraging you to buy the EV, I encouraged large scale mineral investments because we need far more minerals for EVs in any other industry.
And then now we go to President Trump. And while certain things like the Inflation Reduction Act are clearly incongruent with the current administration, we see a further acceleration. But all to say that minerals are the most bipartisan issue in Washington, D.C. And we generally, with some changes, have seen administrations build on what the previous has done.
