He's done it again. Another FU to America by Biden.
Just one thing after another that he has been doing for going on 14 months now. And with Harris then Pelosi in the wings this will continue. There won't be much left by January 20, 2025.

A company hoping to mine critical minerals needed for green technology is in limbo after the Biden administration canceled two leases
...
"We will challenge this attempt to stop our project and defend our valid existing mineral rights. We expect to prevail," the company said in a statement to Fox News. "This is not about law; this is a political action intended to stop the Twin Metals project without conducting the environmental review prescribed in law.
"We have proposed a world-class underground copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals mine that deserves to be evaluated through the established environmental review process. Our proposal, submitted more than two years ago to state and federal agencies, was the culmination of more than a decade of engineering, hydrogeological, environmental and engagement work that maximizes environmental protection.
"We are confident that a full environmental review will show that the science behind this modern mine will prove that we can advance this project safely under the highest of standards."
The mining leases were first issued in 1966 and rescinded by the Obama administration in 2016. The Trump administration then reinstated the leases in 2017 and renewed them in 2018 and 2019. The Department of Interior wrote in January that the Trump administration violated Bureau of Land Management regulations and did not prepare an adequate analysis of the renewal.

Domestic mineral supply chain debate continues after Biden cancels Minnesota mining leases
The U.S. gets over 50% of the minerals it uses to make home building supplies and electric cars from other countries. The company Twin Metals was trying to change that by opening an underground mine in northeast Minnesota. But a fight over the environmental impact has had it hung up for years.
