Q: Why pay for our greatest rival & adversary? Nightmare scenario climate fixation repeat auto loss

On 1/11/2024, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) called out the Biden Administration over its hyper-fixation on a radical climate agenda that is propping up China’s manufacturers on the backs of American workers. During an Energy Committee hearing, Senator Hawley questioned U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk about the Administration’s policies and advocated for the nation’s autoworkers, including those at the General Motors plant in Wentzville, Mo., who fought for fair wages amid the recent United Auto Workers (UAW) strike.

“Why is it good for the American worker that we force our supply chains to a country that’s our greatest rival and adversary, and why is it good for the American consumer?” Senator Hawley asked.

Senator Hawley also raised concerns that foreign countries may soon take over America’s industrial base due to the Biden’s Administration’s radical electric vehicle mandates.

“My nightmare scenario is that we repeat—because of this Administration’s climate agenda, climate fixation, I would argue—we repeat and hyper-charge the loss of industry we saw in the ’70s, and the ’80s, and the ’90s, and we do it all over again,” continued Senator Hawley, “and, so, the remaining few things that we actually produce in this country, like automobiles, we won’t produce anymore.”

Transcript Highlights

Transcribed from the video audio:

• So-called inflation reduction act, which I think frankly is bad enough on its own, but you’re reinterpreting it now to allow the tax credits to flow to Chinese entities
• So now US tax dollars are literally subsidizing Chinese battery makers
• Why would we want to not only give our adversary our supply chains in our jobs, but pay them to take them from us
• So I would argue and certainly want to turn to my deputy secretary at Treasury
• The fact that with the 30D tax credit, only 13 models qualify at this
• Inflation reduction act, which I did not vote for, but nevertheless, the inflation reduction act said clearly that China, if you are for an entity of concern, which includes China, you don’t get the taxpayer subsidy
• And yet your rule allows Chinese companies to get the tax break
• The chairman has asked you about this repeatedly
• I don’t understand why we would pay Chinese companies to outcompete us
• So I would strongly disagree with that, Abel
