On May 14, 2024, the White House announced increased tariffs on Chinese imports "across strategic sectors such as steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, critical minerals, solar cells, ship-to-shore cranes, and medical products.". Many of these sectors are key to the Biden administration

Also a "wind farm" requires enormous land clearing to produce significant amounts of energy. 7 Hydroelectric power is another source of clean and renewable energy. It can be harnessed by controlling the natural outflow of water with different methods. The most popular is through dams which unfortunately are no longer
