President Biden and a White House fact sheet offered insight on clean energy and critical minerals on Tuesday and included references to job creation, supply chains, and other dynamics.
Some observers are not impressed.
“Joe Biden keeps doubling and tripling down on the same war-on-conventional-energy policies that sent energy prices skyrocketing in the first place. Somebody needs to hold an intervention for him,” said James Taylor, president of The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based think tank, in a statement.
Steve Milloy, the founder of JunkScience.com, a news site, noted in another statement that “although Joe Biden is bent on forcing his pointless and expensive climate agenda on Americans struggling to recover from the pandemic, he has no actual plan for actually making it work on a sensible basis.”
He is particularly concerned about Mr. Biden’s push for electric vehicles, which would require lithium-ion batteries.
Mr. Milloy says about 80 percent of the rare earth minerals for such batteries currently comes from China.
“Although Biden is starting to realize his EV agenda is dead-on-arrival without ensuring a rare earth supply chain independent of China, he has no actual plan to accomplish this. This has all been merely a dog-and-pony show to pretend that he is making progress on that problem,” Mr. Milloy advised.

There does not appear to be a plan about any aspect of the Administration’s climate agenda.
What could possibly go wrong?
All Biden has to offer us is Lies Junk Science and Politics and selling us his Snake Oil Cure for a fake illness of Global Warming/Climate Change
