一 | The second trial in connection with the death of 23-year-old Elijah McClain following an altercation with Aurora, Colorado, police began Tuesday.Nathan Woodyard was the first police officer on the scene in August 2019 and he put McClain in a carotid hold. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.Woodyard's legal representatives declined to comment on the case.In opening arguments, Assistant Attorney General Ann Joyce argued that Woodyard's actions on Aug. 24, 2019, led to McClain's death and were not aligned with his police training, according to ABC affiliate Denver7.McClain told officers during their encounter that he was having trouble breathing and he later choked on his own vomit while he was restrained, the previous trial revealed."This trial is about the defendant and his teammates doing nothing to help Elijah McClain. This trial is about their continued callousness and indifference to Mr. McClain's suffering," she said.Attorney Megan Magdalena Downing, who represents Woodyard, argued that the ketamine that was administered by the EMTs that night was responsible for McClain's death, according to Denver7."Let me be clear — someone is guilty," Downing said. "They're not here. It's not Nathan."McClain was stopped by police on his way home from a convenience store in August 2019. A passerby called 911 to report McClain as acting "sketchy" with a ski mask on; however, the caller said there was no weapon and that no one was in danger at the time.McClain was wearing a ski mask at the time because, according to his family, he had anemia, a blood condition that can make people feel cold more easily.When officers arrived on the scene, they told McClain they had a right to stop him because he was "being suspicious."In police body camera footage, McClain can be heard telling police he was going home and that, "I have a right to go where I am going."Woodyard placed McClain in a carotid hold and he and the other two officers at the scene moved McClain by force to the grass and restrained him.McClain can be heard pleading with officers in police body camera footage, saying he can't breathe correctly."I'm so sorry. I have no gun, I don't do that stuff. I don't do fighting. Why are you taking me?" McClain can be heard saying in body camera footage."I can't breathe," McClain said, according to the body camera footage. He echoed these words several times.When EMTs arrived at the scene, McClain was given a shot of 500 milligrams of ketamine for "rapid tranquilization in order to minimize time struggling," according to department policy, and was loaded into an ambulance where he had a heart attack, according to investigators.McClain was declared brain-dead days later and died on Aug. 30, 2019.McClain's cause of death, which was previously listed as "undetermined," was listed in an amended autopsy report as "complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint." The manner of death remained listed as "undetermined" as it was in the initial report.In the first trial in connection with McClain's death, officer Randy Roedema was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide and assault in the third degree last week.Another officer, Jason Rosenblatt, was found not guilty on charges of reckless manslaughter, assault in the second degree, and criminally negligent homicide.McClain's mother, Sheneen McClain, walked out of the courtroom with a raised fist after the split verdict and said she was not satisfied with the outcome."America needs to start telling the truth about its history and changing the way it treats all the people that pay into its systems of control," she said in a statement to ABC News on Friday. "Don't say sorry to me for humans that fail even their own kind. My soul still cries out for divine justice for my son Elijah McClain."。

二 | 这是拜登总统支持从污染性气体动力汽车转向无排放EV的最新举措,目标是使2030年销售的所有新车中有50%为EV。

三 | 在此之际,汽车制造商、矿业官员和环保人士对美国为推动电动汽车发展所需的关键矿物供应发出了警告。

四 | 据悉,DOE的拨款将用于12个州的20个制造和加工公司的项目。根据白宫的说法,这些项目将支持生产足够的锂、石墨和镍以供应每年数百万的新电动汽车电池。此外,这笔资金将用于资助美国第一个大规模、商业化的锂电解质盐生产设施的建设。美DOE还将为一个电极粘合剂设施提供资金,另外还将创建第一个商业规模的国内氧化硅生产设施从而为每年约60万个电动车电池提供阳极材料。最后,DOE将资助安装美国第一个磷酸铁锂阴极设施。白宫还在发起一项被称为“美国电池材料倡议(American Battery Material Initiative)”的努力以此来动员整个政府确保用于电力、电气和EV的关键矿物的可靠和可持续供应。这项新的努力将对支持美国的EV生产至关重要,因为美国的电动车生产仍处于非常早期的发展阶段。民主党的新税收和气候法案《减少通货膨胀法》将在未来十年内投入近4000亿美元用于清洁能源倡议,包括EV税收抵免和为在美国制造清洁汽车的公司提供融资。加利福尼亚州表示,它将从2035年开始禁止销售新的汽油动力汽车,预计其他十几个州也将效仿这一举措。但唯一有资格获得7500美元信贷的EV是在北美制造的,使用的电池则是在美国或其贸易伙伴的地下挖掘出来的矿物。这些要求在很大程度上被许多观察家认为是几乎无法实现的,因为汽车行业严重依赖来自中国的电池材料和部件。汽车行业一直在为美国国内的不足情况敲响警钟。

五 | 代表美国几乎所有传统汽车制造商的汽车创新联盟(Alliance for Automotive Innovation)在回应内政部的评论请求时写道:“美国没有大量的电动汽车电池材料的加工能力,并且依赖其他国家的精炼原材料,这使得美国市场面临着被美国控制之外的供应链影响的风险。
