As Yale University scholar June Rhee <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/som.yale.edu\/blog\/usage-of-the-defense-production-act-throughout-history-and-to-combat-covid-19\"><span>noted<\/span><\/a><span>, the law allows the president to \u201ccompel the private sector to work with the government.\u201d President Donald Trump, for instance, used the statute to produce protective equipment in response to the spread of COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/03\/31\/fact-sheet-president-bidens-plan-to-respond-to-putins-price-hike-at-the-pump\/\"><span>statement<\/span><\/a><span> from the White House argues that the Defense Production Act is needed for \u201ccritical materials to bolster our clean energy economy by reducing our reliance on China and other countries for the minerals and materials that will power our clean energy future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe DPA will be authorized to support the production and processing of minerals and materials used for large capacity batteries \u2014 such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and manganese \u2014 and the Department of Defense will implement this authority using strong environmental, labor, community, and tribal consultation standards,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cThe sectors supported by these large capacity batteries \u2014 transportation and the power sector \u2014 account for more than half of our nation\u2019s carbon emissions. The President is also reviewing potential further uses of DPA \u2014 in addition to minerals and materials \u2014 to secure safer, cleaner, and more resilient energy for America.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Over the weekend, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-blasts-biden-after-report-administration-might-use-defense-production-act-to-support-electric-cars\"><span>blasted<\/span><\/a><span> President Biden in anticipation of the move. \u201cAfter begging for oil from dictators, Biden is now using emergency war powers to produce batteries for the 1% that drive electric cars,\u201d he wrote. \u201cMost Americans suffering due to high gas prices don\u2019t have the luxury of spending $50k+ on an electric car. Unleash American energy today!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Indeed, officials from the Biden administration <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/republican-leaders-furious-over-reports-that-biden-admin-is-seeking-to-import-oil-from-venezuela\"><span>traveled<\/span><\/a><span> to Venezuela and met with President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro earlier this month in an effort to import more oil. In response, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) noted that \u201crather than produce more American oil he wants to replace the oil we buy from one murderous dictator with oil from another murderous dictator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-word-salad-of-bureaucratic-bs-democrats-say-to-fight-russia-buy-oil-from-iran\"><span>confirmed<\/span><\/a><span> that \u201call options are on the table\u201d when he was asked whether Biden would consider \u201cworking something out with Iran\u201d in response to high gas prices. Likewise, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/conservatives-blast-california-democrat-for-asking-saudis-to-produce-oil-instead-of-u-s\"><span>called<\/span><\/a><span> on Saudi Arabia to \u201copen taps and produce more oil so the world can turn its back on Russian oil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Republican lawmakers have called for the United States to increase its domestic energy production. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) issued statements <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hawley-boebert-press-for-more-american-oil-production-amid-ukraine-invasion\"><span>demanding<\/span><\/a><span> that the Biden administration revitalize American energy production to ease costs for Americans and strengthen American leverage against Russian aggression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cPresident Biden must act now to hit Vladimir Putin where it hurts, beginning with Russia\u2019s energy sector. The Biden Administration should sanction Russian energy production to a halt, and help arm the Ukrainians to defend themselves,\u201d Hawley said. \u201cAt the same time, the White House should reopen American energy production in full. This is the time to show Russia and the world that America will not reward aggression and it will not be dependent on its enemies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>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.
