Dockter, a nondestructive testing technician at a Molded Fiber Glass Companies (MFG) factory, called Biden hypocritical for claiming to support green energy jobs while implementing policies that led to him losing his job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting 2022, the tax credit will phase out for wind energy and that has something to do with [Biden\u2019s] production tax credit for wind and fossil fuels,\u201d Dockter said during the interview.<\/p>\n<p>On June 8, MFG <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moldedfiberglass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MFG-Corp_PR_06_08_2021_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> it would shut down its South Dakota factory in August, blaming a variety of factors including Biden\u2019s tax policies. The factory has produced wind turbine blades since 2007, the company said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe closure comes as a result of changes in market conditions, foreign competition and proposed revisions to tax policies impacting the wind energy industry in the United States,\u201d MFG said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Three hundred employees will lose their jobs, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Dockter added that his family will have to sell their house and move because the factory shut down.<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/15\/jeff-landry-joe-biden-louisiana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Federal Judge Orders Biden Administration To Halt Oil And Gas Leasing Ban)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Neither MFG or Dockter gave specifics on which tax policies had affected the factory.
