Well, he is 'China Joe'. The kickbacks must be enormous. Why else is this what is happening?



President Joe Biden’s plan to strengthen domestic “U.S.-based” supply chains for his green energy agenda will further strengthen China.

A Cartersville, Georgia facility owned by QCells — a subsidiary of South Korean corporate conglomerate Hanwha — will remain reliant on the China-based Shanghai Lianfeng Gas Co. for technology used in argon-gas recycling. QCells has billed its Cartersville facility as “a fully-integrated solar supply chain factory” and received praise from President Joe Biden’s allies in Congress.


The Biden government has encountered considerable problems in its effort to re-shore industrial supply chains. Despite trying to brand much of the President’s green energy agenda as a boon for U.S. industries, critics have pointed out that Biden government regulators — like the U.S. Treasury Department — have used their statutory discretion to waive restrictions on foreign-sourced manufacturing.

Billed as a ‘flagship’ facility as part of Biden’s green agenda, the QCells operation in Georgia has received a bevy of tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act and Sen. Jon Ossoff’s (D-GA) Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act. After Congress adopted his legislation, Sen. Ossoff cheered the passage: “Demand for solar energy is skyrocketing, and we need to be building and manufacturing this technology here in the United States, reduce our reliance on imports from China, and meet the moment.”

The promise to reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing and technology has rung hollow with the QCells facility in Georgia. Likewise, the Biden government’s promise that tax credits meant to promote a domestic electric vehicle industry has largely benefitted battery and auto-part manufacturing in Canada and Mexico.

After the U.S. Treasury Department under Secretary Janet Yellen used statutory discretion to continue redefiningMade in America,” some electric vehicle credits even subsidized manufacturing facilities in Southeast Asia.

The last time I checked, under the gutting the allowing companies to export themselves under Reagan, it's been an uphill battle bringing the companies back to the US. You want to do something constructive? Support tariffs on select products and pass that onto companies making those same products that return to the US.
 
China is going to win, this much is clear. They just need a clear oligarch in place in as many countries as possible.

Nice deflection from Biden's failures.

He is a lazy and stupid man, I can't and shouldn't judge his moral state.
He called for 30 X30 bill to take 30% of American land and make it federal but THEN
he did the unthinkable (but nobody on USMB even noticed) because he knows how godawful stupid most environmentalists are


====> A total of 22 million acres of public lands in the West would be open to utility-scale solar development under a plan proposed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on Jan. 17 2024.

Of course it does. The Chinese have subsidized solar tech, and we have sat and bickered while they cornered the market.

Maybe next time, before you start a breathless pearl clutching thread about this, look back and see who was trying to subsidize solar tech and who stood in their way.
