Biden Rescinds Trump Order Banning Chinese Communist Involvement In US Power Grid
The National Post ^ | 01/21/2021 | Natalie Winters

Posted on 01/23/2021 10:29:34 AM PST by thegagline

President Biden has revoked a Trump-era executive order that sought to keep foreign countries and companies out of America’s bulk power systems – principally entities associated with the Chinese Communist Party – as part of his “Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.”

The executive order, which executes key tenets of President Biden’s climate change agenda, was released on the former Veep’s first day in office.

Section 7 of the massive order, which includes the revocation of the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, also revokes several climate and energy-focused executive orders penned by the Trump administration.

Subpoint C notes that “Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 (Securing the United States Bulk-Power System), is hereby suspended for 90 days.”

The Trump-era order sought to ban, replace, and set new criteria on bulk-power system (BPS) electric equipment coming from a foreign country or national that poses a national security threat.

“Foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system, which provides the electricity that supports our national defense, vital emergency services, critical infrastructure, economy, and way of life. The bulk-power system is a target of those seeking to commit malicious acts against the United States and its people, including malicious cyber activities, because a successful attack on our bulk-power system would present significant risks to our economy, human health and safety, and would render the United States less capable of acting in defense of itself and its allies,” the introduction to the executive order read.

Biden works for the government fed, middle class NIMBY trash people, who don’t want the pipelines in their worthless, barren back yards.

Current administration will. Governor Abbott has lots of experience at prevailing in the Courts while he was AG.

And the Current AG is much like him.

From what I've heard, Texas is the only state that has it's own grid.

OK might be close, I'm not really sure.

OK is unique in that Obozo never carried a county. And in instance, Obozo did not win in the Dem Primary, until the State Dem Central Committee intervened to stop his defeat.

It is part of Traitor Joe’s China First policy.

Wish there was a journalist who would ask his reasoning behind rescinding this EO. Alas, I am dreaming.

China’s ‘investment’ in the US Deep State has paid off Big Time... now Biden needs to give them total control over drugs that keep Americans alive.

Talk about having us by the short hairs... and this is still Biden’s first week. Next week he gives the Chinese the right to kill our first born sons...

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

Besides corruption here is just some of the million$ that the Biden’s are involved in

It might not be half the country who is responsible for Biden’s presidency.

I’d almost forgotten about that one — Cankles was the odds-on favorite until the Committee (headed up by Drew Edmondson, IIRC?) upset her applecart. Serves her right.

I found a couple of articles stating the OK’s grid is in dire need of an upgrade (perfect excuse for OG&E to jack up the rates). But hopefully, close proximity to TX will come in handy in the event worse comes to worst, and our pals there will overlook football season’s Red River Rivalry and lend a hand. :-)

“Note to self: Test run both backup generators. Top up the reserve fuel supply.”

Your generators will be confiscated for “the greater good.” Unless you’ve elected a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county who can call up and deputize 2,000 heavily armed veterans from the VFW, American Legion and Marine Corps League to protect your family and community.

If you don’t have that, I’d strongly recommend you get to work.

I can assure you that nothing terrifies the deep state more than organized, armed veterans.

I’m not a sports fan. Never have been.

I lived in OK for 7 years and we loved OK and the Okies.

Outside of football, we are very similar people. OK has more Indians, but Texas has a lot too. None of that is important.

Freedom is.

Completely agree! Freedom is what it’s all about.

Okies like Texans too. Very hardy and independent people. Good neighbors.
