President Joe Biden's latest climate-focused executive order promises a bustling clean energy sector backed by "Good-paying union jobs." That sector's supply chain is largely dominated by China.
The clean energy industry's reliance on foreign markets and companies extends to solar energy.
China's grip on clean energy means that Biden's push for a green American economy will likely benefit the Communist nation, sparking national-security concerns among Republican lawmakers.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told the Washington Free Beacon that Biden's "Radical" climate actions will "Kill jobs and increase our reliance on China."
Sen. Marsha Blackburn echoed the Washington Republican's sentiment, adding that Biden's energy policies "Will advantage our adversaries and hurt American workers and the American taxpayer."
The environmental benefits of clean energy are diminished when relying on components manufactured under China's lax emission regulations.
President Biden's hostility to the fossil-fuel industry is expected to undermine America's energy independence as well as cut thousands of local jobs.
