You probably missed the Friday news dump.
Biden’s final EV rules make it easier for China to get billions in Biden’s EV tax credits - with Biden acknowledging that the U.S. supply chain can’t meet the timeline for his green transition.

Dems are feigning outrage - “this will allow China to infiltrate the American auto supply chain, at American taxpayers’ expense.”

Good luck defending this @SenBobCasey @SenatorTester @SenSherrodBrown
@SenBobCasey @SenatorTester @SenSherrodBrown Biden is exempting graphite from EV sourcing rules (77.5% comes from China) saying it’s “impracticable to trace.”
But these same people argue oil and gas companies should pay cities for storm damage from “global climate change” - as if that’s traceable.

@SenBobCasey @SenatorTester @SenSherrodBrown They also waved a magic wand to classify leased vehicles as “commercial vehicles,” so a leased car can qualify for EV tax credits even if it was manufactured in Xi Jin Ping’s garage with every single part coming from a slave mine or a Uyghur camp.

This bill already ended Manchin’s career. It should end Brown, Casey, Tester, and Baldwin’s as well.
Everyone: this will hurt American energy and send our tax dollars to China.
Senate D’s: no it won’t, Biden promised.
Biden: I promised.
**it happens **
