Biden slaps 20-year mining ban on Minnesota land, gives more power to China – By Kristen Altus (FOX Business) / Feb 3, 2023
Biden admin passes 20-year mining ban on more than 225K acres of northern Minnesota forest
Despite the supply of precious minerals in the U.S. being depleted, the Biden administration made a policy move last week that will only exacerbate the problem, according to GOP lawmakers and experts.
“This has been a long problem, but the Green Movement is essentially a reverse opium trade, where the United States buys overpriced green technologies from Chinese manufacturers that, in turn, makes our manufacturing more expensive,” Common Sense Society executive director Christopher Bedford said Friday in reaction on “Mornings with Maria.”
On Sunday, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture under President Biden announced the 20-year withdrawal of more than 225,000 acres of northern Minnesota forest land, which is home to some of the largest domestic mineral reserves.
