The introduction of the Critical Mineral Consistency Act comes at a pivotal moment, as the global race for essential materials like copper intensifies, with China leading much of the production. Under current law, benefits granted to critical minerals do not always extend to critical materials—leaving key resources like copper, electrical steel, silicon, and silicon carbide without access to vital federal programs. This legislation would close that gap, ensuring that materials essential to U.S. infrastructure, clean energy development, and defense manufacturing can receive the support they need.
Congress must pass the bipartisan Critical Mineral Consistency Act now and #givecoppercredit.
