Biden Pushes Domestic Production of Critical Materials for Batteries

SUGAR LAND--April 1, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Most of the attention at the White House on Thursday was focused on President Joe Biden's order to release a massive amount of oil from strategic reserves in an effort to reduce gas prices. But his order to encourage domestic production of minerals and metals needed for large-capacity batteries got much less of the spotlight. Industrial Info is tracking more than $17 billion worth of projects to mine and process lithium and other critical metals and minerals.
