House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials Subcommittee Chair Buddy Carter (R-GA) have announced a hearing titled “Securing America’s Critical Materials Supply Chains and Economic Leadership.”
“If America is going to continue its manufacturing and energy leadership, we must significantly increase our domestic supply of the necessary critical materials," said Chairs Rodgers and Carter. "These materials are crucial for manufacturing everything from batteries, electric grid components, and semiconductors, to advanced energy technologies. Our current regulatory landscape runs counter to the reasonable predictability necessary for permitting the mining, processing, and refining of these materials domestically. We look forward to hearing from stakeholders and experts on how to grow and secure our critical material supply chains—while maintaining our environmental leadership—and also ensure America isn’t dependent on adversaries like China, which pose a threat to our national and economic security.”
The Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials will hold the hearing titled “Securing America’s Critical Materials Supply Chains and Economic Leadership” on Thursday, June 13, 2024.
The event is scheduled for 10:30 AM ET at 2322 Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing will be open to the public and press and will be livestreamed online at https://energycommerce.house.gov/.
