EDINBURGH, Scotland—Philosopher Adam Smith was born 301 years ago this week just north of here, dying here 67 years later.

Further, the policy may not even serve its ostensible purpose of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

Building out the domestic supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries is a pillar of the Biden administration's green industrial strategy, which seeks to firmly link U.S. re-industrialization and decarbonization efforts. While the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has begun mobilizing significant investment interests in EV manufacturing capacities in the United States, there is a major holdup in the implementation of its amendments to Section 30D of the New Clean Vehicle Credit (30D).
