Washington, D.C. - The Biden Administration announced on Monday that the President would again utilize the Defense Production Act in an effort to rescue his failed energy agenda. This latest move is delivered as American families have faced nearly a month of record gas prices and with the prospect of blackouts looming this summer. The President's decision also coincides with his plans to announce he won't impose tariffs on foreign-made solar panels largely the product of Chinese corporations.

"President Biden dragged his feet on using the Defense Production Act for the baby formula crisis, but leapt at the opportunity to deploy it for his own green agenda," said Daniel Turner, Executive Director and Founder of Power The Future. "We're facing record gas prices every day and the threat of electric blackouts during the hottest months, but Biden remains focused on implementing his green agenda on an unwilling electorate. Ironically, this latest desperate attempt also shows up less than two weeks after his administration threw up a major roadblock against a mine in Alaska which would produce the metals needed for his solar panels. If Biden were serious about throwing a lifeline to struggling Americans, he would unleash the energy producers his administration has done their best to strangle since taking office."
