Political Quotes

“Mr. President, my amendment would ensure that Federal funds used toward the technology and materials we need to advance our renewable energy sector is made and mined in the United States and by our allies, not by the Chinese Communists. We are currently dangerously reliant on China for roughly 80 percent of materials and minerals vital to the U.S. renewable energy sector and to our national security. It is not only dangerous to our national security to be so reliant on China, but it is also inhumane. China is using Uyghur forced labor to source many of America's alternative energy imports. We have these resources right here in the United States, and by developing our national supply chains, we can create thousands of good- paying jobs, protect our national interests, and deny support to the Chinese Communist Party. However, far too often, extreme environmental groups seek to block domestic critical mineral production right here at home. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.”
