The people who control the feeble Joe Biden had him claim he can legitimately use his “wartime powers” to remove your gas stoves and water heaters.
Last Friday, Biden’s handlers invoked an obscure Cold War-era law to cover for his autocratic and un-American need to take things away from us that we like.
Per Fox News:
In a joint announcement with the White House, the Department of Energy (DOE) said the federal government would award a “historic” $169 million for nine projects across 15 sites nationwide in an effort to accelerate electric heat pump manufacturing. The significant level of funding was made possible after Biden utilized the 1950 Defense Production Act (DPA) to increase domestic production of green energy technologies.
“Getting more American-made electric heat pumps on the market will help families and businesses save money with efficient heating and cooling technology,” said Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. “These investments will create thousands of high-quality, good-paying manufacturing jobs and strengthen America’s energy supply chain, while creating healthier indoor spaces through home-grown clean energy technologies.”
“Today’s Defense Production Act funds for heat pump manufacturing show that President Biden is treating climate change as the crisis it is,” added John Podesta, the White House clean energy czar. “These awards will grow domestic manufacturing, create good-paying jobs, and boost American competitiveness in industries of the future.”
And Ali Zaidi, who serves as Biden’s national climate advisor, said the president was “using his wartime emergency powers under the Defense Production Act to turbocharge U.S. manufacturing of clean technologies and strengthen our energy security.”
So, as we face a real war with China, Biden is funding a fake war against the weather to push his religious climate change obsessions.
Fittingly, the Competitive Enterprise Institute blasted Biden’s lies and misuse of his powers.
“This is absolutely shameful corporate welfare. But we’re to believe that because it’s for the sake of climate change, all is well. I think that’s ridiculous,” CEI spokesman Ben Lieberman said.
“Of all the Biden administration’s claimed climate emergency declarations, this may be the craziest of them all,” Lieberman continued. “There is no shortage of heat pumps — it’s just that not every homeowner wants them. Consumers ought to decide for themselves. The government has no role in tilting the balance in favor of one energy source over another. That’s clearly what’s happening here.”
Joe Biden’s handlers are the biggest dictators the U.S. has had in the White House since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
