Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are set to probe the Biden administration's green plans in a hearing this week, arguing that the process for subsidizing clean energy and electric vehicles threatens human rights and national security.
Republicans view the targets for wind and solar growth and electric vehicle adoption as unrealistic and unworkable, senior staffers told the Washington Examiner, posing risks to reliability, security, and access for U.S. consumers.
Together, they will highlight shared concerns, such as the domestic land use required for renewable energy factories and mining, disposal of EV batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels, and a forced reliance on China and other supply chains with low environmental and human rights standards. The hearing will be led by House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Rep. Bill Johnson , who chairs the Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Minerals.
