Arrr! Sen. Josh Hawley be tellin' President Biden to raise the taxes on Chinese energy bits, to be less dependent on their green energy. Aye, 'tis a clever plan indeed, me hearties! Let's give those scurvy dogs a taste of their own medicine!
Arrr, Mateys! Sen. Josh Hawley be raisin' the Jolly Roger and settin' his sights on China's energy imports to our shores. The scallywag be wantin' President Biden to hoist the tariffs on any pieces o' energy loot comin' from the Far East. Hawley be claimin' that Biden's climate plans be makin' us bend the knee to China, and he be sayin' it's time to cut the cord and declare our energy independence from those scurvy dogs.Now, what be these tariffs, ye ask? They be taxes slapped on goods sailin' in and out o' the ports, aye.Hawley be unfurlin' a new flag called the Declarin' Our Energy Independence from China Act, demandin' a 25% tariff on battery, solar, and wind components from China, with the rate climbin' to 50% over five years. The scallywag be callin' for a report on all the treasure China be tossin' into their energy sector over the past decade and a half.Biden be tryin' to steer the ship towards electric vehicles, but Hawley and his crew be shoutin' that China be riggin' the game. Other senators be joinin' the fight, sendin' messages in bottles urg in' Biden to boost the tariffs on solar panels before China be plunderin' our industry.
