Haaland ignores blue-collar worries for extreme climate plan.
The Biden Administration Thinks Americans Have Too Many Jobs Available
The Biden administration is prioritizing climate change over energy security, according to a leaked memo from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley pressed Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on this issue during a hearing. The senator accused the federal lands agency of choking off domestic development of American natural resources, which is making the country more dependent on China. Hawley also pointed out that the administration is denying mining permits for mines in the US that would allow the country to develop nickel, copper, and cobalt.
Protecting the Ecosystem vs. Jobs for Blue-Collar Workers
Haaland clarified that the senator was referring to the department’s recent move to block the Twin Metals Project in Minnesota from moving forward. The senator argued that jobs for blue-collar workers in the US are valuable resources, and the ability of America to have its industry and not be dependent on China is also a valuable resource. Haaland dismissed the senator’s concerns, saying that there are too many jobs in the country and not enough people to fill them. Hawley pointed out that over 3 million jobs have gone to China, and they have come out of midwestern towns like the ones he represents.
Governmental Programs to Employ Workers Displaced by the Administration’s Aggressive Climate Agenda
Haaland responded by promoting governmental programs to employ workers displaced by the administration’s aggressive climate agenda. She said that there is a dearth of legacy pollution in the country, and those are good-paying, well-paying jobs with benefits that Americans are having because of President Biden and his policies. While American mining operations face obstacles from the White House, the Biden administration is funding critical mineral projects in Canada and Argentina.
Lawmakers Promote Bipartisan Reform on Capitol Hill
The broken regulatory regime for projects on American soil has moved lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to promote bipartisan reform on Capitol Hill. The Biden administration’s decision to trade off energy security in favor of a radical climate change agenda is making the country more dependent on China. Jobs for blue-collar workers in the US are valuable resources, and the ability of America to have its industry and not be dependent on China is also a valuable resource.
