DIANA FURCHTGOTT-ROTH: Beijing Biden’s Energy Policies Will Lose The New Cold War
OPINIONU.S Vice President Joe Biden Visits China
 
Like it or not, America is locked in a new Cold War. Our foe this time around is Beijing.

A new report by the Heritage Foundation, Winning the Cold War: A Plan for Countering China, describes what it will take to prevail in this conflict. One of the first things to do: Stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

A good place to start is with environmental policies. Our current policies make China stronger and America weaker. We America needs to abandon those that promote dependence on China and embrace policies that will make us energy independent once more.


This week, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.), and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Sam Graves (R-Mo.) introduced a bill that would get us back on track. H.R. 1, The Lower Energy Costs Act, emphasizes domestic energy production, lower energy costs, and reduction in emissions.

Energy independent is only a beginning, when we get our energy back to more reasonable (and reliable) levels, we need to start manufacturing our own stuff, especially critical components (microchips). We have tremendous resources, but we need to open them up to being produced and utilized.

The Chinese have been buying up resources all over the planet for decades, now.

We're late to the party.

We've handed the Chinese Communist Party the rope they'll use to hang us in exchange for cheaper iPhones.
