"Inflation Reduction Act ties clean-energy tax credits to critical-minerals sourcing requirements"
The IRA conditions the IRC s 30D clean-vehicle credit on critical minerals sourced from the US or a free-trade-agreement partner
Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.
This is a human-established fact. It holds within US as enacted by US Congress; Internal Revenue Service (Treasury).

Answer
sec:answer-02140be9
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA, Pub L 117-169) restructured the Section 30D clean-vehicle credit and created new advanced-manufacturing production credits (45X) and clean-energy tax credits (45, 45Y, 48, 48E). The 30D credit is conditional on the percentage of critical minerals in the battery that were extracted or processed in the United States or a country with which the US has a free-trade agreement — explicitly including Australia. Foreign-Entity-of-Concern (FEOC) rules (effective 2024) exclude vehicles with battery components or critical minerals sourced from Chinese, Russian, North Korean or Iranian entities.
