Arrr! Biden be givin' the auto industry to China on a silver platter with his electric vehicle mandates!
2024-06-17
Arrr, Biden be callin' China a troublesome foe, yet be relyin' on their loot for our fancy electric chariots. The White House be shoutin' orders for more electric ships, despite the plunderin' ways of the scurvy dogs in China. Aye, the seas be choppy indeed!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the Biden administration's aggressive policy limiting auto tailpipe pollution be a threat to hand control of America's critical auto industry to the Chinese Communist Party. The Environmental Protection Agency's electric vehicle mandates for cars and trucks be making the U.S. dangerously dependent on China for batteries and raw materials.The EPA's recently finalized tailpipe emissions rule be making a rushed transition to electric vehicles, requiring a significant increase in electric and hybrid vehicle sales by 2032. These mandates be leaving Americans at the mercy of CCP-controlled electric vehicle supply chains.China already be dominating the global electric vehicle industry, accounting for a large percentage of worldwide electric vehicle sales. The Chinese government be aggressively cornering the market for electric vehicle batteries, critical minerals, and rare earth elements.The administration be contradicting its concerns about the Chinese threat, effectively outsourcing the American auto industry to China through these mandates. The rapid shift to electric vehicles without building domestic production capacity be reckless and leave the U.S. vulnerable to Chinese price gouging and supply chain disruptions.Biden must reverse course on electric autos to focus on building secure, domestic, clean vehicle supply chains before forcing a catastrophic electric vehicle transition on American consumers and businesses.
