RUSH TRANSCRIPT This is ░░░░░░░░ large large than show ░░░░░░░░ Actually the Lars Larson ░░░░░░░░ I happen to be ░░░░░░░░ fan of clean coal ░░░░░░░░ has a lot of ░░░░░░░░ We have a lot ░░░░░░░░ clean coal I d ░░░░░░░░ to see See it ░░░░░░░░ to make electricity and ░░░░░░░░ you say but lars ░░░░░░░░ are going to be ░░░░░░░░ ways to make electricity ░░░░░░░░ some point the future ░░░░░░░░ When that happens we ░░░░░░░░ go to that just ░░░░░░░░ America s change that ░░░░░░░░ of energy uses over ░░░░░░░░ only two decades but ░░░░░░░░ centuries we ve gone ░░░░░░░░ one source to another ░░░░░░░░ as they make economic ░░░░░░░░ Barron s joins me ░░░░░░░░ who s with power ░░░░░░░░ future Larry welcome back ░░░░░░░░ the program lars going ░░░░░░░░ talk with you think ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ It is President Trump ░░░░░░░░ us in the right ░░░░░░░░ especially with what was ░░░░░░░░ saw this morning You ░░░░░░░░ have seen it earlier ░░░░░░░░ that he said we ░░░░░░░░ going to take all ░░░░░░░░ extra regulations that Joe ░░░░░░░░ layered on top of ░░░░░░░░ coal fired power plants ░░░░░░░░ said we re going ░░░░░░░░ shut down Dozens of ░░░░░░░░ fired power plants Trump ░░░░░░░░ he s reversing all ░░░░░░░░ that and that he ░░░░░░░░ going to put at ░░░░░░░░ dozens of those power ░░░░░░░░ back on line or ░░░░░░░░ online Is that the ░░░░░░░░ direction for America I ░░░░░░░░ anyone would outstandingly say ░░░░░░░░ it is the right ░░░░░░░░ and what we ve ░░░░░░░░ is reliable power plants ░░░░░░░░ off the grid and ░░░░░░░░ s why our energy ░░░░░░░░ go up when we ░░░░░░░░ intermittent unreliable energy on ░░░░░░░░ we have to pay ░░░░░░░░ bills for it I ░░░░░░░░ t think any American ░░░░░░░░ seen the sun panels ░░░░░░░░ the windows grow up ░░░░░░░░ Oh I m so ░░░░░░░░ that my bill has ░░░░░░░░ down It just hasn ░░░░░░░░ been the case and ░░░░░░░░ s be clear before ░░░░░░░░ the environmentalist get worked ░░░░░░░░ which I don t ░░░░░░░░ will think they all ░░░░░░░░ awful quiet about China ░░░░░░░░ has increased their coal ░░░░░░░░ eight percent in just ░░░░░░░░ last year Unless China ░░░░░░░░ a different planet The ░░░░░░░░ groups need to find ░░░░░░░░ target well and in ░░░░░░░░ aren t We still ░░░░░░░░ that number where China ░░░░░░░░ beginning Construction of a ░░░░░░░░ new coal fired electric ░░░░░░░░ roughly once a week ░░░░░░░░ now they re they ░░░░░░░░ absolutely doing that They ░░░░░░░░ to do that because ░░░░░░░░ Biden gave them billiards ░░░░░░░░ son colonel that windmills ░░░░░░░░ so they needed power ░░░░░░░░ make those It s ░░░░░░░░ amazing when you look ░░░░░░░░ a place that is ░░░░░░░░ you actually cup like ░░░░░░░░ and their need for ░░░░░░░░ they don t turn ░░░░░░░░ wind and solar to ░░░░░░░░ their windows paddles I ░░░░░░░░ it s The height ░░░░░░░░ irony and it points ░░░░░░░░ just how unreliable it ░░░░░░░░ s a president Trump ░░░░░░░░ absolutely correct Doing this ░░░░░░░░ the I for the ░░░░░░░░ at better than anyone ░░░░░░░░ and it before I ░░░░░░░░ every biomedical that there ░░░░░░░░ our coworkers Do it ░░░░░░░░ a better than everyone ░░░░░░░░ Could they live in ░░░░░░░░ where they are working ░░░░░░░░ one thing I wanted ░░░░░░░░ antonov you know the ░░░░░░░░ to this or not ░░░░░░░░ the coal industry has ░░░░░░░░ feel pretty whipsawed about ░░░░░░░░ time because they had ░░░░░░░░ rig a they had ░░░░░░░░ You were in place ░░░░░░░░ Biden came into office ░░░░░░░░ that was bad enough ░░░░░░░░ they had complied with ░░░░░░░░ Then Biden comes in ░░░░░░░░ on a whole bunch ░░░░░░░░ regulations enough to drive ░░░░░░░░ lot of those plants ░░░░░░░░ literally out of business ░░░░░░░░ and and Trump comes ░░░░░░░░ says no I m ░░░░░░░░ to give you at ░░░░░░░░ a two year reprieve ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ can do more than ░░░░░░░░ but but if you ░░░░░░░░ running a coal plant ░░░░░░░░ he said hold on ░░░░░░░░ ve complied with the ░░░░░░░░ we can operate Joe ░░░░░░░░ comes in now we ░░░░░░░░ t operate Trump comes ░░░░░░░░ now we can t ░░░░░░░░ That s that s ░░░░░░░░ tough environment to be ░░░░░░░░ if you re running ░░░░░░░░ big big utility and ░░░░░░░░ electricity What do you ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ Are they gonna embrace ░░░░░░░░ coming from Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ they going to say ░░░░░░░░ re sick and tired ░░░░░░░░ having to put up ░░░░░░░░ federal government changing the ░░░░░░░░ every couple of years ░░░░░░░░ we can t stand ░░░░░░░░ business because I m ░░░░░░░░ that might be their ░░░░░░░░ That s exactly the ░░░░░░░░ question in a what ░░░░░░░░ re going to do ░░░░░░░░ hope they take advantage ░░░░░░░░ it but all I ░░░░░░░░ tell you what I ░░░░░░░░ they would do and ░░░░░░░░ hope they would take ░░░░░░░░ Trump at his word ░░░░░░░░ those states that are ░░░░░░░░ to agree with President ░░░░░░░░ and say we want ░░░░░░░░ jobs We want there ░░░░░░░░ electricity because we re ░░░░░░░░ our electric demand is ░░░░░░░░ going up It s ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ does power hour This ░░░░░░░░ make it affordable and ░░░░░░░░ forward so that if ░░░░░░░░ when open ever but ░░░░░░░░ you add another radical ░░░░░░░░ programs get into the ░░░░░░░░ Office that they would ░░░░░░░░ have to turn the ░░░░░░░░ out on American in ░░░░░░░░ to get rid of ░░░░░░░░ because we motor power ░░░░░░░░ think America s electricity ░░░░░░░░ going to go up ░░░░░░░░ percent inject the next ░░░░░░░░ years so it Are ░░░░░░░░ your point the ship ░░░░░░░░ t turn around quickly ░░░░░░░░ it is demand We ░░░░░░░░ gonna need to be ░░░░░░░░ Is there any potential ░░░░░░░░ building a brand new ░░░░░░░░ of the art clean ░░░░░░░░ electric generating facility or ░░░░░░░░ just too much risk ░░░░░░░░ the for a company ░░░░░░░░ try that Because What ░░░░░░░░ would love to see ░░░░░░░░ Honestly in my in ░░░░░░░░ heart of hearts I ░░░░░░░░ to see somebody like ░░░░░░░░ or or Colorado set ░░░░░░░░ probably not Colorado you ░░░░░░░░ t get away with ░░░░░░░░ They re set up ░░░░░░░░ big huge plan say ░░░░░░░░ re going to supply ░░░░░░░░ for all of Wyoming ░░░░░░░░ that will be our ░░░░░░░░ but will sell the ░░░░░░░░ to these green states ░░░░░░░░ the when they re ░░░░░░░░ they in turn on ░░░░░░░░ their solar panels aren ░░░░░░░░ producing what they need ░░░░░░░░ ll be there Have ░░░░░░░░ re going to sell ░░░░░░░░ them at a premium ░░░░░░░░ do you think about ░░░░░░░░ Plan I I think ░░░░░░░░ s a fantastic planet ░░░░░░░░ to really good points ░░░░░░░░ it that s why ░░░░░░░░ pay the highest rates ░░░░░░░░ electricity emanation because they ░░░░░░░░ to brag look how ░░░░░░░░ our electric generation is ░░░░░░░░ they import from other ░░░░░░░░ for electricity any others ░░░░░░░░ they pay a premium ░░░░░░░░ do that Right Yeah ░░░░░░░░ mean we are I ░░░░░░░░ sure you re sitting ░░░░░░░░ Capitol Hill today to ░░░░░░░░ sanctuary city the that ░░░░░░░░ blue state city decided ░░░░░░░░ re going to ignore ░░░░░░░░ law I would love ░░░░░░░░ a red state governor ░░░░░░░░ say you know what ░░░░░░░░ when there s a ░░░░░░░░ president we re gonna ░░░░░░░░ a energy sanctuary State ░░░░░░░░ worse could ignore your ░░░░░░░░ The federal rules I ░░░░░░░░ start building these banks ░░░░░░░░ I love that idea ░░░░░░░░ fact you know what ░░░░░░░░ want to see I ░░░░░░░░ to see some of ░░░░░░░░ red states say hey ░░░░░░░░ illegal aliens you re ░░░░░░░░ welcome here and you ░░░░░░░░ oughta leave the country ░░░░░░░░ at the very least ░░░░░░░░ like Texas doing so ░░░░░░░░ understand we re gonna ░░░░░░░░ into custody were going ░░░░░░░░ turn you over the ░░░░░░░░ but if you re ░░░░░░░░ off to one of ░░░░░░░░ nice sanctuary states for ░░░░░░░░ aliens they might be ░░░░░░░░ to give you all ░░░░░░░░ of freebies because their ░░░░░░░░ voted for that kind ░░░░░░░░ idiocy Can you imagine ░░░░░░░░ happens if some of ░░░░░░░░ illegal say we re ░░░░░░░░ going to leave we ░░░░░░░░ just going to leave ░░░░░░░░ red states and we ░░░░░░░░ going to go to ░░░░░░░░ blue states and then ░░░░░░░░ pressure on them from ░░░░░░░░ will become even more ░░░░░░░░ It s exactly right ░░░░░░░░ mean how many a ░░░░░░░░ laws the left or ░░░░░░░░ told to ignore were ░░░░░░░░ to ignore immigration laws ░░░░░░░░ is allowed to smoke ░░░░░░░░ now which is it ░░░░░░░░ tackled Troy glaus it ░░░░░░░░ that left tells us ░░░░░░░░ ignore all kinds of ░░░░░░░░ meet the right should ░░░░░░░░ using a playbook as ░░░░░░░░ yeah I don t ░░░░░░░░ it s a bad ░░░░░░░░ because because I want ░░░░░░░░ see the coal industry ░░░░░░░░ and fran Equally only ░░░░░░░░ the left pointed out ░░░░░░░░ their hypocrisy and k ░░░░░░░░ we can t possibly ░░░░░░░░ cold here to generate ░░░░░░░░ so we can ever ░░░░░░░░ out of a real ░░░░░░░░ a manufacturing base but ░░░░░░░░ re okay to let ░░░░░░░░ burn coal some of ░░░░░░░░ from America and then ░░░░░░░░ ll be our manufacturing ░░░░░░░░ Only the jobs will ░░░░░░░░ in China instead of ░░░░░░░░ and and were okay ░░░░░░░░ that as long as ░░░░░░░░ burn the cold somewhere ░░░░░░░░ of sight of the ░░░░░░░░ havens like San Francisco ░░░░░░░░ New York or Chicago ░░░░░░░░ re they re okay ░░░░░░░░ it as long as ░░░░░░░░ s out of sight ░░░░░░░░ it s out of ░░░░░░░░ minds Oh absolutely had ░░░░░░░░ I I make jokes ░░░░░░░░ a whole bunch of ░░░░░░░░ like the laptop but ░░░░░░░░ s be clear about ░░░░░░░░ urgency of If we ░░░░░░░░ in the middle of ░░░░░░░░ a I arms race ░░░░░░░░ now a diet is ░░░░░░░░ require energy That is ░░░░░░░░ If we want manufacturing ░░░░░░░░ that is gonna require ░░░░░░░░ and either the United ░░░░░░░░ or China is gonna ░░░░░░░░ it if today has ░░░░░░░░ crystallize to American how ░░░░░░░░ we are with China ░░░░░░░░ now It should because ░░░░░░░░ are competing against us ░░░░░░░░ a very clear way ░░░░░░░░ if we are not ░░░░░░░░ to bring any ammo ░░░░░░░░ your case ammo is ░░░░░░░░ Through this fight then ░░░░░░░░ are really handicapped and ░░░░░░░░ the way Larry What ░░░░░░░░ the one of the ░░░░░░░░ I d love to ░░░░░░░░ their feet held to ░░░░░░░░ fire Are all these ░░░░░░░░ giants I m not ░░░░░░░░ about must but everybody ░░░░░░░░ else because all of ░░░░░░░░ were the ones who ░░░░░░░░ the lefty policy saying ░░░░░░░░ have to go to ░░░░░░░░ panels and windmills but ░░░░░░░░ when it came to ░░░░░░░░ energy from Microsoft for ░░░░░░░░ for all these all ░░░░░░░░ entities they said we ░░░░░░░░ is windmills and solar ░░░░░░░░ on you but we ░░░░░░░░ not going to be ░░░░░░░░ to survive on windmills ░░░░░░░░ solar panels We re ░░░░░░░░ go get nuclear but ░░░░░░░░ s only gonna be ░░░░░░░░ us and not for ░░░░░░░░ I won t they ░░░░░░░░ park receive exposed and ░░░░░░░░ want them to be ░░░░░░░░ you want to light ░░░░░░░░ plant here great You ░░░░░░░░ have half the output ░░░░░░░░ other half has to ░░░░░░░░ to the grid for ░░░░░░░░ else because you don ░░░░░░░░ get to put us ░░░░░░░░ the dark freezing to ░░░░░░░░ While you guys are ░░░░░░░░ a solid electrodes reply ░░░░░░░░ nuclear that s not ░░░░░░░░ way it works and ░░░░░░░░ and I both know ░░░░░░░░ heads of most those ░░░░░░░░ companies They were the ░░░░░░░░ pushing the green policies ░░░░░░░░ then they turn around ░░░░░░░░ declare but we re ░░░░░░░░ going to subsist on ░░░░░░░░ kind of thing it ░░░░░░░░ isn t it isn ░░░░░░░░ enough That s Larry ░░░░░░░░ from power the back ░░░░░░░░ a moment or alive ░░░░░░░░ Stanford had a hoover ░░░░░░░░ Dude broadcast studios and ░░░░░░░░ re listening to
