The Biden administration is considering a plan to import the bulk of the materials needed to build electric vehicles and the batteries that power them instead of mining them domestically — a nod to environmental groups that make up a key part of the Democratic constituency, according to a report.

The plan under consideration would entail buying the materials from overseas markets and allow US manufacturers to assemble them into batteries or electric vehicles in an effort to create American jobs but still remain in the good graces of environmental groups, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

Another payoff to the eco weirdos.

It’s okay to stripmine other countries.

IMHO it’s not just about mining the rare-earth’s. It’s about processing them. That part freaks the libtards more than anything else.

Dream on, DumbAss.

We apply environmental shackles to ourselves but give China a pass. They don’t understand the world is round and rotates.

"instead of mining them domestically"

In other words, relying instead on foreign slave labor to make them cheap, thereby expanding international slavery through globalism.

The big guy gets 10% but that number was pre-stolen days.

Get them from where.. china, where he holds stock in the company. Or hunter holds stock. Just wondering.

[LuxAerterna]

More pandering to his party’s lunatic base. This time it’s to anti-mining fanatics.

Of course, there’s no concern whatsoever about building out the electrical infrastructure to power these vehicles.

These people live in a world of fantasy.

This is good news. There are thousands of little kids in Congo that need mining jobs.
