BIDEN ABUSES EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY TO PURSUE HIS ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA

Plagued by inflation, a projected upcoming Republican wave in the
midterm elections, and high gas prices, President Joe Biden is
desperately seeking a win on clean energy.
 
To achieve that win, he has authorized the inappropriate use of the
Defense Production Act— an egregious misuse of executive power.
 
LAST MONDAY, Biden announced that he authorized use of the Defense
Production Act to speed up the domestic production of clean energy
technologies—like solar panels and heat pumps— for use in
buildings.
 
THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT GIVES THE PRESIDENT A BROAD SET OF
AUTHORITIES TO INFLUENCE DOMESTIC INDUSTRY IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL
DEFENSE. Since it was passed at the start of the Korean War, the act
has served as a valuable federal statute to ensure that, when called
upon, the domestic industrial base is capable of providing essential
materials and goods needed for the national defense.
 
OVER THE YEARS, CONGRESS BROADENED “NATIONAL DEFENSE” TO INCLUDE
NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, LIKE PANDEMICS, TERRORIST ATTACKS, AND NATURAL
DISASTERS. Biden’s latest actions, however, strain the definition of
national defense past the point of credulity. HE HAS AUTHORIZED THE
ACT TO SERVE HIS POLITICAL GOALS—IN THIS CASE, A RADICAL
ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA.
 
LAST YEAR, BIDEN’S $2.2 TRILLION BUILD BACK BETTER BILL, which
included billions in clean energy programs, failed to pass in
Congress. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who killed Biden’s landmark
legislation, stated that part of his opposition to the bill was due to
its climate and clean energy provisions, saying they “RISK THE
RELIABILITY OF OUR ELECTRIC GRID AND INCREASE OUR DEPENDENCE ON
FOREIGN SUPPLY CHAINS.”
 
In this latest executive action, Biden has ignored Manchin’s
objections and decided to pursue his agenda _without the approval of
Congress._
 
So, this is bad energy policy, terrible trade policy, and even worse
defense policy given that we will now be more dependent on China,
which Secretary of State Anthony Blinken just called the “most
serious long-term threat” to the world order.
