The act \u2026 would bolster the manufacturing capacity of electric vehicle producers in particular\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That reported followed several hard-Left Democrat senators, including Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Jeff Merkley of Oregon publishing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markey.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/202203.23executiveactionsoneecleantechletter.pdf\">letter they wrote Biden<\/a> on Wednesday in which they urged him to utilize the Defense Production Act to \u201csupport and increase manufacturing capacity and supply chain security for technologies that reduce fossil fuel demand and fuel costs, such as electric heat pumps, efficient electric appliances, renewable energy generation and storage, and other clean technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senators used the Russian invasion of Ukraine as an excuse for their request, writing, \u201cWe encourage you to examine all possible routes to support and deploy clean energy and energy-efficient electric technologies as part of our near- term domestic and international response to the economic upheaval caused by Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe draft order also plays into domestic priorities. Last week, Granholm and Sen.

He stated, \u201cWhile I remain concerned about our dependence on China and other foreign countries for key parts of the lithium-ion battery supply chain, engaging our strong and capable workforce to manufacture batteries domestically is a critical step toward reducing our reliance on other countries and ensuring we are able to maintain our energy security. I look forward to seeing this initiative grow, and we will continue to work closely together to ensure we can onshore the rest of the battery supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last June, Granholm stated, \u201cEstablishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and stationary grid storage markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
