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.

“I had a dream” as a child over half a century ago. Only one of two I remember in my lifetime. It caused me to immediately tell my folks and my brother and sister. . my brother and sister remember it still. I was standing by a plane in our yard north of our home in the country . . . only a few yards from the house. I don’t remember any wheels on it. It was a huge plane with a long row of windows. The passengers were staring at me, all of them moving their heads in unison side to side in a continuous motion. Their facial expression, everything looked exactly the same. . . Chinese. I can still envision it. Perhaps this was a dream played out.
“Is this Biden attempting to force everyone to go solar?”
Between this and the proposed mileage tax on cars it looks like it.
This is when our republic needs a Pinochet. Or is our military leadership completely compromised from the Obama years?
They aren’t concerned about the mid-terms.
They will make D.C. and Puerto Rico states. They will also grant amnesty and citizenship to 30+ million illegal aliens.
They will then move on to election “reform”, where they will mandate mail in ballots be made available to all.
Can anyone name a single thing Biden has done so far that benefits Americans?
Anyone?
America Last would have been a more appropriate slogan.
He does not have the ‘football’.
Joe Xiden strikes again
The Costa Nostra used to buy into companies and allow a few top people to stay for a while then set them aside to make it a crime family only enterprise. Weaklings would say “but what did I do? I built this entire company. How can you do this to me?” Saps. Others were blackmailed into it.
The Chinese Communists are not going to tolerate any back talk from Dems.
If there were any vestige of “love thy neighbor” possibility in me when it comes to the Dems who voted Biden’s dirty crew into power, it is gone. Full disclosure: I hated them for a long time already.
They're all Obama/Biden appointees. The only one that I liked Pompeo is already gone.
Note to self: Test run both backup generators. Top up the reserve fuel supply.
Bidens motto MCGA
do we really?
Wonder if TX Governor will stop this if they attempt this in TX
The soviets used to do that also. Keep certain people in power but over time, replace them with their own yes men.
Guess the dimrats didn’t pay attention to what happened to Eastern Europe.
Well, DR Jill did take a couple dozen cookies to some soldiers. /s
Could half of the voting public be any mote stupid?
Good gosh
Chink Joe working for his paymasters to undermine America.
(No offense intended to the lovely people of Chinese descent; but we need condemnation in the strongest possible terms available in the language.)
JoBama & HoBama: Traitors be thy names.
That is precisely my point. They will move fast to seal up any possibility of losing the mid-terms and any other election for that matter.
Next is disarmament.
After seeing his E.O.'s on the same day of inauguration, it is clear this is Obama's third term. Wonder who will be whispering in his ear piece? Obama, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett? Maybe even Hillary.
I like Dzou Bai Den. I stole it from a fellow FReeper.
