While America\u2019s industrial base has shown strong resilience, a more enduring threat to our clean energy supply chains continues to grow: dependence on materials and manufacturing controlled by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>On June 6, the Biden administration invoked the Defense Production Act to accelerate the domestic manufacturing of solar panels and other technologies for which America is import-reliant. This builds on the administration\u2019s goal, announced last year, for solar to supply 40 percent of U.S. electricity by 2035, up from 4 percent today.<\/p>\n<p>While solar power certainly has a role to play, the U.S. should avoid overreliance on any one form of energy and instead embrace a diverse portfolio of affordable, reliable and clean energy technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative policymakers are advancing a comprehensive strategy to support a broad range of domestic energy sources. Last week, U.S. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), House Select Committee on Climate GOP leader Garret Graves (R-La.), and others from their Energy, Climate and Conservation (ECC) Task Force rolled out part one of a six-part plan to tackle the ongoing energy crisis and the global climate challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP task force pillars include policies to unlock America\u2019s abundant energy resources, promote technological innovation and empower American entrepreneurs to build with a modernized permitting process \u2014 all of which are necessary to defeat China and Russia and restore U.S. energy dominance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/energy-environment\/3517676-to-escape-chinas-supply-chain-embrace-a-diverse-clean-energy-portfolio\/\">here<\/a> to read the full article<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress and the Biden administration should embrace all forms of energy that can contribute to a resilient, secure and clean energy system.
