‘Laughable’: Biden’s Energy Secretary Wants All-Electric Military Vehicles Within A Decade

Is President Biden Putting America Last?

It seems like the Biden administration is always pushing policies that favor China while putting America last. The latest example is Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm’s proposal for an all-electric military vehicle fleet by 2030. But is this plan feasible or practical?

Laughable Plan

Senators called the plan “laughable” and pointed out that the big winner if this were to happen would be America’s top adversary: China. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told Fox Business that the plan was ridiculous but an unsurprising result of Biden’s personnel policy choices. “This is what happens when you have a president who puts activists in place of this country instead of putting real people who’ve been there, done that,” he said.

Not Feasible or Practical

Mullin went on to explain why the idea is just not feasible or practical. “We’re gonna have — we’re gonna go to war. We’re going to have electric vehicles … none of us have ever heard of EMP before — electromagnetic pulses,” he said sarcastically, in reference to weapons that can wipe out electronics. “But not besides that, we’re going to be out in a battlefield where they don’t really have what you’d consider charging stations. So to charge the fleet — we’re going to be pulling these huge diesel generators to charge the fleets — and when they go down, instead of just simply running up there and pull it for fuel. No, we’re gonna have to sit there for hours [while] these batteries charge.”

Mullin also pointed out that America would be depending upon the Chinese Communist Party to create the super-charged batteries that would be needed to power these batteries. EV batteries rely on critical minerals — a field in which China overwhelmingly dominates the market.

Climate Change Ahead of Excellence

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) also slammed Granholm for her suggestion. “You don’t fight a war that way,” Ernst said during a radio interview. The Iowa senator argued that Biden was putting climate change ahead of excellence. “This administration has taken it to the extremes with this climate agenda,” she said. “We are not focusing on the lethality of our American military. Instead, they are focusing on green energy and climate change.”

Ernst, like Mullin, also pointed out that this plan would only benefit China.

So, does President Joe Biden want us to lose a major war? That’s the question. The views expressed in this piece are the author’s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.
