To add....We won't even mine wants needed for the future....

The recent threats by the Chinese government to stop shipments of vital minerals to the United States has exposed the dangerous folly of years of American environmental policies against mining. Rare earth minerals are essential in the production of numerous 21st century technologies, from cell phones and solar panels to electric batteries and military weapons systems. The good news is that these rare earth minerals are abundant, especially in the United States. The two of us have warned for years that because of heavy reliance on China and to an extent on Russia, Beijing might seek to weaponize its market power in these strategic resources.

We could do it,,,We are Americans after all who can thread the needle when needed to if only we give it a shot....But give it to the rest of the world where mining will not be regulated and our conscious is clear???

And lets not forget how dems cut out Americans in the IRA Bill with lawyereze....

Sensationalize much? Seems to me the real goal is economic while sprinkling in a small win for the climate. I know you don't care though because you can scream about the sky falling and place blame on an entire political party to appease yourself.

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is pausing approvals of pending applications for liquefied natural gas exports to countries with which the United States does not have free trade agreements, citing environmental concerns related to climate change as a key reason for the move.

While the temporary halt is in effect, the Energy Department is expected to evaluate and update the guidance used to make authorizations. The White House said in a fact sheet Friday that the economic and environmental analyses that the department currently uses are about five years old.

They "no longer adequately account for considerations like potential energy cost increases for American consumers and manufacturers beyond current authorizations or the latest assessment of the impact of greenhouse gas emissions," the White House said.

The pause allows for exceptions to be made for unanticipated and immediate national security emergencies.

Liquified natural gas is a natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state to allow for shipping and storage, according to the Energy Department. Any companies that want to export natural gas are required to obtain authorization from the department’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management.

President Joe Biden said in a statement that his administration will take a "hard look at the impacts of LNG exports on energy costs" during this period as well as "America’s energy security, and our environment."
================================

According to the White House, the U.S. is the top exporter of LNG worldwide, with roughly half of the exports last year going to Europe. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the pause "will not affect already authorized exports, nor will it impact our ability to supply our allies in Europe, Asia, or other recipients of already authorized exports."

"We remain committed to ensuring our partners' medium-term energy needs are met," she added. "And if needed, the department can determine if exceptions should be made for national security needs."

But very GOOD builders of REAL bridges, as you read in my post about WV.

Despite all of your pearl clutching the economy chugs along after the recession that wasn't.

Manhattan Project was a gov project. There is plenty of work being done by private companies RE Chips, batteries, wind, solar and fusion, with presumably gov support as well.

You trot out your benighted beliefs about what you think is happening or not happening never bothering to check for accuracy; insuring misinformation laden posts from you and and bad political decisions by you.

How's your kid...? Oh wait. Never mind, failure.

B402, First you smash your credibility by claiming you are an independent. Now you
scramble like a 3 y-old in a toy box to lob one misdirected dud after another. Hilarious.
