The Gateway Pundit reported Friday that an executive order signed by Biden on his first day in office caused Texans to nearly freeze to death this past week. Biden claims his action is to protect the climate, but the executive order actually helps the Chinese Communist Party and makes the United States less safe.
This executive order from Biden’s first day in office is called “Executive Order on Protecting Public health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Address the Climate Crisis,” and the first paragraph of Section 1 of the executive order states that
“The federal government has failed to meet this commitment in the past and must advance environmental justice now. In carrying out this responsibility, the federal government must be guided by the best science and protected by processes that ensure the integrity of federal decision-making. Therefore, it is the policy of my Administration to: listen to science; improve public health and protect our environment; ensure access to clean air and water; limit exposure to hazardous chemicals and pesticides; hold polluters accountable, including those that disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income communities; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; increase resilience to the effects of climate change; restore and expand our national treasures and monuments; and prioritizing environmental justice and the creation of the high-paying union jobs needed to achieve these goals.
The Gateway Pundit argues that this is a complete hoax. The best science? The integrity of federal decision making (which is destroying President Trump‘s honest decision making system)? Communities of color (how does that appear in an executive order on climate change)? Environmental justice? Union jobs? Is it all true? No one will vote for this crap and the Democrats robbed the election to push it all through.
The key issue is the provision on China hidden at the bottom of the executive order. It turns out that the same day Biden shut down the Archstone pipeline, he also lifted 90 days of security for the U.S. power grid, which Trump’s 2020 executive order secured to keep out the Chinese Communist Party.
In the executive order, Biden said, “(c) Suspends Executive Order 13920 (Securing the U.S. Bulk Electric System) of May 1, 2020, for 90 days.” And the relevant energy departments, subsequently, will need to issue a follow-up order.
This is just a small paragraph tucked away in one of Biden’s executive orders on his first day in office, under the umbrella of “restoring science to address the climate crisis. Of course, science and the climate crisis are two topics on which there are different views.
Looking at the executive order, there does not seem to be anything in favor of the United States, which begs the question: Who wrote and approved this garbage?
This executive order by Biden is, in effect, an executive order that ends President Trump’s executive order to protect the U.S. power grid from China.
President Trump’s May 1, 2020 executive order, Securing America’s Bulk Electricity System, states, “Foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the U.S. bulk electric system, which provides electricity that supports our national defense, critical emergency services, vital infrastructure, economy, and way of Life. The bulk power system is a target for those seeking to commit malicious acts against the United States and its people because a successful attack on our bulk power system would pose significant risks to our economy, human health and security, and would leave the United States less able to defend itself and its allies.”
So what prompted President Trump to issue this executive order? It turns out that a 2014 report from the Obama-era Department of Energy said, “Since the late 1990s, the demand for power transformers in the United States has been increasing; however, there is limited domestic capacity to produce power transformers in the U.S. In 2010, there were six power transformer manufacturing plants in the U.S., but they could only meet 15%.”
Eighty-five percent of U.S. high-voltage transformers are supplied by foreign companies, primarily from China. President Trump has acknowledged that U.S. Security and independence require certain products to be made in the United States.
On Jan. 16, Trump’s Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette issued a “ban” saying that utilities serving critical defense facilities (CDFs) cannot purchase specific bulk power equipment from Chinese communist countries because it would pose an undue risk to the security or resilience of the bulk power system, critical infrastructure, the economy, national security or the safety and security of Americans. safety and security of Americans.
But four days later, Biden halted these bans that promote the safety and security of Americans, and conservatives have spoken out.
“Biden and Obama don’t seem to care about Made in America. Shockingly, Biden wants to lift the ban on Chinese communist countries and others and allow them back into the U.S. market. That’s what Biden is doing in his climate change executive order.”
In the past week, suddenly there was an energy crisis in Texas. Did Biden’s executive order have anything to do with this? We’ll never know.
