President Biden invoked a Cold War-era law in a surprising move Friday to pour taxpayer funds into domestic manufacturing of electric heat pumps, an alternative to gas-powered residential furnaces.
In a joint announcement with the White House, the Department of Energy (DOE) said the federal government would award a "historic" $169 million for nine projects across 15 sites nationwide in an effort to accelerate electric heat pump manufacturing. The significant level of funding was made possible after Biden utilized the 1950 Defense Production Act (DPA) to increase domestic production of green energy technologies.
Under the actions announced Friday, the DOE will send millions of dollars to companies like Copeland, Honeywell International, Mitsubishi Electric and York International Corporation, all of which are billion-dollar multinational corporations. The projects will advance manufacturing of industrial, commercial and residential heat pump technology.

Has China got some electric heaters it want to get rid of?
Where is he getting the money?
Chk your wallet. Probably empty like mine.
Is he going to pay to have the houses rewired for electrical appliances?
This is the same BS Canada is doing. This is just setting the stage to declare national climate emergency. This is about to get very serious.
How about invoking the war powers act on some thing we are really at war with - drugs, cartels, illegal “residents”, Mexico, etc.
The grift is strong. Who is benefiting from this?
I have had both electric heat and gas heat. Let me tell you, for some reason gas heat stays warmer. I can’t even imagine how it will work in the north, but the cost should go through the roof.
Careful. If you try to check your wallet there is an electric current to shock you into realizing Biden stole from you. But it was for the planet’s sake.
He just can’t help himself, can he? I doubt it’s Biden’s idea as he’s not capable of thinking, but there is definitely someone in the administration who IS! This is total nonsense.. We only have to remember how he touted SOLYNDRA when he was VP and how that turned out!!!!
Will someone please tell that goof-off that money does not grow on trees!! I bet that would be a surprise to him.
Mines been empty since I retired. I thought congress had to give a President war Time powers.
It's always Nazis these days, Not kidding.
I’d rather fund the border wall
Are the wartime powers because of the Civil War coming soon?
Not promotion, just observation.
My old tagline:
My job is to inform, not to convince - Saint Bernadette Soubirous
Looks like our “Uncle” Joe Biden is turning into Uncle Joe Stalin.
I really wish Texas seceding from the union was an option.
APEC paid off, I see.
Anyone check Hunter’s accounts???

Yep, both U.S. and Canada are ruled by theocracies where the religion is pagan earth worship.
And just where in the Constitution does it give this demented arsehole authority to regulate appliances, toilets, vehicles, etc.
This diaper-wrapped imbecile can go ESAD.
It’s long past time for him to go. Impeach his sorry arse.
