The Biden Administration’s shift away from fossil fuels and toward so-called clean energy will boost China’s economy at the expense of the US economy. China currently controls 60% of the solar industry’s supply chain. Killing the Keystone Pipeline and canceling drilling permits on federal land will increase America’s dependence on Chinese sources for the much-heralded “renewable” energy sources.
Michael Regan, President Biden’s nominee to head the EPA, acknowledged this shift, but insisted that “it will be good for both countries. First, as customers for their clean-energy products we will build bonds that discourage China from taking hostile actions against us. Second, the pollution resulting from using fossil fuels to manufacture these products will remain mostly in China.”
John Kerry, former Vietnam War hero, US Senator, Secretary of State for the Obama Administration, and Climate Envoy for the Biden Administration, called the policy of killing fossil fuels and switching to renewables a “no brainer. We will get clean air and China will bear the brunt of the pollution.” Asked about the fate of energy workers in America who have or will ultimately lose their jobs, Kerry suggested that “they can get jobs manufacturing solar panels.”
Kerry was undaunted by the fact that the bulk of the solar panel manufacturing jobs will be in China, saying “maybe we can work out a deal where some of our displaced pipeline or fracking workers will be allowed to work in Chinese factories.” Reminded that the wages in China’s factories are far lower than the wages lost by the laid off Keystone Pipeline workers, Kerry quickly pointed out that “the cost of living in China is far lower than the cost of living here. Besides, the idea that American workers should enjoy a standard of living that is far out of line with workers in other parts of the world is what voters rejected when they voted against Trump. The days of ‘America first’ are over. Americans must get used to living more simple lives. The Biden Administration will ensure that all people get what they need rather than what they want.”
