On How the CRA Will Support American Manufacturers:
[The Biden Administration] is giving tax credits and money to [Chinese entities] that should go to American companies. [Congress] passed a law that entities who make electric vehicles with an input of critical minerals [from our adversaries] should not be awarded [tax credits]. There has been a ruling through the Treasury Department that [argues] you can’t tell if graphite is traceable, which isn’t true because the people who manufacture the graphite in the United States say it absolutely is [traceable]. I know that our President is so [focused] on making everything ‘green’, but Congress makes the law and so it is my opinion, as well as my fellow Congressional members, that this [ruling] is wrong. It is illegal and it should not happen. We need to protect our American manufacturers and our American people.
On Whether Congresswoman Miller is Against Subsidizing Electric Vehicles:
Government subsidies isn’t the natural way things happen in the United States. We work hard, we get ahead. If you’ve got a government subsidy, who are you not subsidizing? Why are you picking winners and losers? We shouldn’t.
