Harris wants to reclaim abandoned land mines

congressional Democrats are planning to take their first step toward passing the president’s $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill without Republican help. But now they’ve got a problem: an unhappy Manchin — who, like it or not, has the power to grind this entire thing to a halt.

…here’s what happened: For days the moderate West Virginia Democrat has been imploring the White House to cut a deal with Republicans on coronavirus assistance. Stimulus checks shouldn’t be going to people making $300,000, he’s made clear, and the overall price tag should come down after Congress has already spent upward of $4 trillion. Democratic leaders, however, have balked at the notion of slowing down to negotiate and will put a budget on the floor this week to prepare reconciliation.

But here’s the thing: They need Manchin’s support to do it.

Enter Harris and what one of my Democratic sources called a “ham-handed” interview on local West Virginia television Thursday. It was clearly meant to up the pressure on Manchin to support Biden’s package, but it only antagonized him. “I couldn’t believe it,” Manchin said in a video that went viral Saturday. “No one called me [about it]. … We’re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward … but we need to work together. That’s not a way of working together, what was done.”

I’m told Manchin also conveyed his displeasure privately to senior White House officials late last week. Another head-scratcher in all this: Harris isn’t exactly popular in West Virginia. And in the interview, she referred to “abandoned land mines” instead of “abandoned mine lands” in West Virginia, a slip-up sure to cause eye rolls in the state.

Even before Harris’ interview, senior Democrats on the Hill were privately a little worried about Manchin, noting that he has the power to stop Democratic leaders from jamming through the Covid package without Republicans. Two options at Manchin’s disposal: refuse to back the budget this week until there are more talks with Republicans, or insist that Biden and Democrats lower the price tag before doing so.

It looks like Sleepy Joe isn’t the only one having brain farts. Well, for Joe, those are legitimate. For Harris and company, it’s just their hatred of normal, hard-working Americans who, heaven-forbid, work in mines to extract energy resources.

you do not have a clue about anything on this Earth except how to bitch like a pro, much less how much ambition she has. of course you should be envious of her. but that doesn't mean you should be spewing such sick ass lies about your betters.

she's ridden to the VP without anything to show for it, except locking up weed smokers and "quality of life" crimes. She did nothing in the Senate -she doesnt care about anything but acquiring more power, and she's a showcase for the Progs.
Thats's damn ambition without much of a conscience
 
It's clear Harris doesn't know what's involved in mine reclamation. The jobs for doing that are very different from those of mining itself. Her useless liberal arts background in liaring... lawyering... doesn't equip her to understand the process in detail.
For example, it's clear she doesn't know that any active mine or new mine in operation since 1977 falls under the Mine Reclamation Act and already has to have a plan in place for reclamation once it is shut down. Mines that closed before 1977 can be a much larger problem as there were few standards involved in how they operated. This makes these each unique in what they might require for clean up. Their age can also massively increase the danger during clean up.

Of course, the last people we want doing this is the government and EPA as demonstrated by the Gold King mine accident during it's clean up by the later agency. It was one of the largest environmental disasters in the continental US in decades and the EPA all but washed their hands of responsibility, shafting tens of thousands of people who's land was negatively effected by the accident.

Liar

Under Harris, the D.A.'s office obtained more than 1,900 convictions for marijuana offenses, including persons simultaneously convicted of marijuana offenses and more serious crimes.[SUP][68][/SUP] The rate at which Harris's office prosecuted marijuana crimes was higher than the rate under Hallinan, but the number of defendants sentenced to state prison for such offenses was substantially lower.[SUP][68][/SUP] Prosecutions for low-level marijuana offenses were rare under Harris, and her office had a policy of not pursuing jail time for marijuana possession offenses.[SUP][

former lawyers in Harris’ office and defense attorneys who worked on drug cases say most defendants arrested for low-level pot possession were never locked up. And only a few dozen people were sent to state prison for marijuana convictions under Harris’ tenure.

why were ANY locked up? this is by a supposed Progressive -Harris

Still, advocates wonder why it took so long for the California senator to come out in support of marijuana legalization. She actively fought a ballot measure for recreational pot in 2010, co-authoring an opposition argument in the voter guide, and stayed on the sidelines when a second ballot initiative passed in 2016.

Harris publicly came out for legalizing marijuana only in May 2018, after she was widely considered a likely presidential contender.

her ambitions finally made her come out for legalization -not before

The ego of a junkie is an incredible thing.

You actually believe you are smarter than John Kerry? Unfuckingbelievable.

One assumes you mean rare earth metals or rare earth minerals...there is no rare earth.

Even more devastating for your credibility is your repeated lie that there are rare earth minerals in solar panels...there are none.

Solar photovoltaic panels are very simple; a thin disc or wafer of silicon is overlaid with tiny copper wires. That's it. There is nothing else. :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Renewable Energy Requires Rare Earth Minerals | China Holds Most Of Them

Renewable energy development relies upon sufficient quantities of rare earth minerals, specifically neodymium, terbium, indium, dysprosium, and praseodymium. These are used in the production of solar panels and wind turbines.

Even Willy Brown advised her not to take the VP job.

The rest of your drivel is your usual tossed word salad, Palinesque at best, evil and incredibly destructive to humanity and the Earth itself at worse.

Do humanity a favor and shut the fuck up.

FYI, retard; Tesla solar panels are cheaper than anything made in China.

I think a lot of people are smarter than John Kerry and I think you know that too.


Right now maybe but are they subsidized? That is Musk's business model, profiting off of public money or regulation.

He's essentially right about silicon based solar panels, but as per usual he doesn't tell you the whole story.

Cadmium telluride is being increasingly used by companies like First Solar. Although tellurium is not a lanthanide, it's very rare, extremely expensive, carcinogenic, extremely toxic and pretty nasty overall, cadmium is not much better! Yes you guessed it, China makes many of those panels as well.

Who knows? The point is you were lying...again you putrid muckraker.

Notice how Kerry resorts back to "make solar panels". I guess that an update from Hillary's "learn to code"

like we are just going to ask China for rare earth and carve out a market.
China is way ahead , they have a few vast expansive solar farms (ruining the land for any other use)
and contracts worldwide

So we destroy our energy sector, and try to horn in on China's at the same time...that's gonna hurt jobs
