Rare earth green light: Louisiana regulators have approved an air quality permit for Aclara’s $277 million Project Dynamo rare earth separation facility at the Port of Vinton, allowing construction to move forward under specific emissions limits. The plant will produce high-purity rare earth oxides used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and defense technologies, with AI-powered technology from the Department of Energy and Argonne National Laboratory. The permit caps emissions and requires Aclara to use a caustic scrubber and monitor its flow and pH every four hours, while environmental groups warn that expedited reviews could increase risks to coastal ecosystems.
