Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was in the hot seat Thursday as she was peppered with questions on Capitol Hill about President Biden’s green energy agenda.
Ms. Granholm faced frustrated lawmakers during testimony to the Senate Energy Committee, which accused the administration of going soft on China, flouting laws passed by Congress, contributing to soaring energy prices and piling on to the national debt.
“I am dead serious about this,” Mr. Hawley said. “Until we get answers for these kids and until we get that school reopened and cleaned up, I am going to hold every nominee to your department. I am going to do the same with regard to the Army Corp. [of Engineers]. They have gotten the runaround.”SEE ALSO: Congress moves to reverse Biden policy, crack down on China for flouting U.S. solar tariffs
Mr. Manchin has become so aggravated with the law’s implementation, which he says could jeopardize U.S. energy security if too much reliance is on China for critical minerals needed in EV batteries, that he’s threatened to sue the administration. The department last year awarded a $200 million grant to Texas-based lithium battery company Microvast that has links to the communist nation.
“Why is the Biden administration trying to ban cars and trucks that the people of Wyoming need to get from point A to point B in our large state?” Mr. Barrasso said.
