Democrats Push “Drive Plastic Manufacturing To China” Act

Congressional Democrats are offering up a bill whose effects will be to destroy the American plastics industry and drive manufacturing to China:

    Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that provisions in the sweeping climate bill from top House Democrats would stifle the plastics industry.

    One late addition to the nearly 1,000-page piece of legislation, known as the CLEAN Future Act, is meant to curb greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution emitted from the petrochemical facilities that produce plastics or the raw materials used to make plastics.

    Most significantly, the bill would impose a temporary pause on air pollution permits needed for approval of new plastics production facilities.

    The legislation also directs the Environmental Protection Agency to issue new greenhouse gas and air pollution controls for these facilities within three years, including requiring plastics production plants to use zero-emissions power and improve emissions monitoring.

Buy into our green energy graft or we won’t let you do business.

    The EPA regulations must also require any permit for a plastics production facility to be accompanied by an “environmental justice assessment,” which would include consulting with the people who live in the region where the facility would be located, according to the bill.

Pay off our social justice warriors or we won’t let you do business.

    Several Republicans, during a legislative hearing on the bill Thursday, argued it would dampen the plastics industry at a time when the pandemic exposed a need for more plastic materials for personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves.

Poisoning the air,the ground,the water,and the people of China would be a BAD thing for America?

Sounds good to me.

Sperm counts around the world have been in decline for awhile now. It's believed (not proven) that plastics are in part responsible. If the problem is the micro particles of plastic that enter our food stream manufacturing these products in China might not be bad. Move tech, vaccines, special metals back to the USA.

Why Of Course! Why didn't I think of that?  Let's shut down all of those evil refineries. Oil?????  Baddddd!!!  Plastic??????  Baddddd!!!!  Red Meat????  Badddddd!!!!!! Carbon???? Badddddd!!!!!

Won't be that hard to do anyway.  With little or no regulatory constraints, the Chicom polyethylene, polypropolene, PVC, Polystyrene, etc. etc.  already have competitive advantage anyway.  The only point saving domestic production is shipping costs.

Just ask a dim how good this is, after the cost of an IV bag reaches $200 afterwards.

Soooo....the US Chamber of Corrupt Colluders is going to discover their Rodent partners are perfectly happy shipping MORE industries to China.

And they're shocked, just SHOCKED to find out there's gambling in Rick's Cafe Americain, too, I'm sure.

That's a great deal for the Chinese who can contaminate those too...

The left brags about how pollution in America has dropped greatly, they don't want to talk about it was at a heavy loss in manufacturing jobs and higher operating costs for companies to remain here.  The left also doesn't want to talk about how the massive loss of jobs in America has created a much more competitive threat China is now to America in nearly every venue, not just economically, or jobs but militarily too, and the dropping of American power and presence in the world.
