It’s October 26th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.------We’ve got a Special Edition of the PDB this morning.And it’s special because we’re going to talk about something nobody is talking about: Last month the US Government acknowledged that the batteries powering the Renewable Energy Revolution in this country — the electric vehicles, the solar and wind farms, all of it — those batteries are produced by child miners in the Congo.Now, we’ve talked about this on the PDB in the past as a part of our series that I called Dirty Green Energy. But this is official confirmation from the US Government itself. And it’s a big deal. But then why is this report not in the press? Why aren’t politicians talking about it? Why aren’t car manufacturers acknowledging it? ------Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.Email: PDB@TheFirstTV.com Learn more about your ad choices.
