The National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act, H.R. 4402.

We need HR 4402 for the good of America.  There is no reason to be dependent upon countries, friend or foe, for out energy and industrial needs.  We need the individual jobs, the collective benefit for the strength of our country and economy and not only to benefit ourselves but the planet.  It has been extortion by the EPA to not utilize our resources and minerals.  Ten years is much to long to have to wait to get a mining permit.  In my own opinion even 30 months is a long time but that is much better than 10 years.  We are only hurting ourselves when we can't mine our own resources.  It is unpatriotic and I would even say it is treasonous to allow other countries to benefit at our expense.  This is what it currently going on with the EPA and our current administration.  I rejoice that HR 4402, The National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act has passed congress.  It even helps me to give them some credibility for being American, responsible and able.  Thank you.  We apparently do have some good servants in our government.
