Wait until he gets a load of how rare earths are obtained and who has the virtual monopoly on it.

The pollution and labor abuses from going “green" aren’t real because it’s not kids here hand-mining that cobalt for those batteries
The pollution from the lithium isn't real because it's over there in China and not here

It doesn't matter that this lake and others like it are destroyed from mining rare earths because it's not *here,* it's over *there*

Look at this super green copper mine. It's OK because it's in South America, and not here -- so pollution and enviro destruction avoided! Whew! 
The left's obsession with fake "green" energy and tech drives pollution elsewhere where there are zero labor or environmental protections. The Guardian details how the move to green is disrupting access to clean water for indigenous communities in Chile theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
No one, literally no one cares if you have an EV, by the way -- but don't pretend to be some paragon of environmental protection because you have one, considering how they're powered, and don't demand that the world meet this zero-sum green game.
Energy is security and Biden and Dems want to trade oil reliance on rare earth reliance -- which is China. Zero concerns for energy-focused national security. That's just plain stupid.
