Securing America’s Critical Minerals Supply Act

This bill requires the Department of Energy to protect the supply of energy resources that are important to keeping the country's energy systems running, especially those whose supply chains could be easily disrupted. The Department would have to regularly study these resources, looking at things like weaknesses in supply chains, limits on producing them in the U.S., government rules that affect their production, and how depending on imports or actions by hostile countries could threaten U.S. energy security. The bill also directs the Department to come up with plans to strengthen supply chains, find alternatives to these critical resources, and improve ways to reuse and recycle them.
