Biden Failing To Support US Miners?

Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of ‘Power the Future’ admonished the Biden administration for “…creating a demand for these materials and then prohibiting American workers from bringing them to the domestic market.”

The Biden administration has often been accused of delaying, if not outright killing, major mining projects in the US. In January 2022 for instance, the Interior Department canceled two leases for proposed copper and nickel mines in Minnesota. Similarly, the Bureau of Land Management only approved 14 mine plans last year as opposed to the 29 mines approved by the Trump administration in 2018.
