House Republicans are putting pressure on Democrats and President Joe Biden to back efforts to expand domestic production of critical minerals, saying Biden’s aggressive climate goals will increase U.S. reliance on China and other adversaries for the materials used in green technology.

GOP lawmakers on the House Natural Resources Committee are reintroducing legislation Friday that seeks to speed up permitting for the mining of critical minerals such as lithium, copper, and cobalt. Those minerals are used in everything from military equipment to renewable energy.
