The Biden administration’s aggressive push to transition to alternative green energy is leaving the U.S. military dependent on its top adversary, China, which would be disastrous in an event of a war with the country, according to a study by the Heritage Foundation publishing on Thursday and obtained first by Breitbart News.

— In a war where China is likely to use all means to slow or cut U.S. domestic fuel transport, including cyber, the federal strategic petroleum reserve’s locations could be cut off from where the fuel is most needed. “For context, in 2018, commercial carriers moved 90 percent of military personnel and 40 percent of material shipments,” he wrote, adding that “without sufficient fuel the American economy will markedly slow, with dire consequences for military operations reliant on a functioning domestic industry and logistics network.”Brent Havins via Storyful

He also recommended updating the role of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which was established by Congress in 1975 to mitigate energy shocks, and is mandated to hold a 90-day reserve of crude oil, which is not based on wartime usage. Sadler also called for the removal of “self-defeating rules and legislation,” and to retire the “ESG warriors” and the Jones Act, which requires that cargo traveling between U.S. ports must sail on an American-owned ship, built in the U.S., and crewed by a majority of U.S. citizens.

“Too often, ships that conform to the Jones Act that can move fuels, such as liquified natural gas , are not available, meaning waivers for foreign shipping are needed. This exacerbates an underlying mismatch between the amount of fuel that America will need and moving it to where needed to fight—and win—a war with China.
