Biden admin seeks to lock up critical minerals with eco protections amid green energy push
Fox News
The Biden administration published its final report outlining objectives for modernizing mining laws, which includes hiking costs for companies seeking to develop resources.
Environmentalists have long called on the federal government to update laws to ensure more stringent protections for wildlife, plants and the environment surrounding mining projects. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"The biggest takeaway from the report is that our 150-year-old law, literally the 1872 mining law signed by President Graham for accessing minerals on public lands, needs to be reformed and brought into the 21st century," IWG Chair and Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau told reporters during a press call.
