This administration has taken many destructive actions that will negatively impact our ag operations.

I think I also would be remiss if I didn't put on record the frustration the producers in my state especially are feeling toward the Federal Government.

Pretty soon I fear the only thing that will be endangered in America is the American farmer and rancher.

It is clear that we must work at ensuring a robust domestic supply of critical minerals to ensure our national security.

This legislation would have a devastating effect in Nevada's 4th Congressional District that would lead to job losses.

I write to you to discuss my deep concern with the Clean Energy Minerals Reform Act (H.R. 7580).

Unfortunately, the bill we are considering today, H.R. 7580, ignores these ever-worsening supply chain concerns.

The aggressive renewable goal set by the Biden administration and other governments are exacerbating the coming shortage.

The Administration even issued a statement saying global demand for these critical minerals is set to skyrocket by 400 to 600 percent.

We cannot recycle our way out of this problem.

you cannot have B without A. You cannot have solar, you cannot have these green projects without critical minerals.
