RUSH TRANSCRIPT 63 a ░░░░░░░░ And today yes it ░░░░░░░░ earth day April 22 ░░░░░░░░ me now is energy ░░░░░░░░ Chris Wright Mr Secretary ░░░░░░░░ s the message from ░░░░░░░░ White House this year ░░░░░░░░ it s not let ░░░░░░░░ save the planet Let ░░░░░░░░ save the humans on ░░░░░░░░ planet and by doing ░░░░░░░░ the environment will benefit ░░░░░░░░ well Look a wealthy ░░░░░░░░ society gets cleaner air ░░░░░░░░ water and better lives ░░░░░░░░ everyone in it When ░░░░░░░░ start deciding that humans ░░░░░░░░ just collateral damage and ░░░░░░░░ s some mystical needs ░░░░░░░░ only the profits can ░░░░░░░░ of the planet and ░░░░░░░░ pursue those directions everyone ░░░░░░░░ environment and humans Stuart ░░░░░░░░ to a new report ░░░░░░░░ of new electricity generating ░░░░░░░░ came from solar energy ░░░░░░░░ led the charge in ░░░░░░░░ installations but we hear ░░░░░░░░ the White House wants ░░░░░░░░ slap tariffs of up ░░░░░░░░ 3 500 on solar ░░░░░░░░ made in Southeast Asia ░░░░░░░░ manufactures wanted this tariff ░░░░░░░░ in those tariffs go ░░░░░░░░ effect solar panels become ░░░░░░░░ more expensive don t ░░░░░░░░ Yeah they will be ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ already make solar panels ░░░░░░░░ the United States and ░░░░░░░░ course we can make ░░░░░░░░ of them China has ░░░░░░░░ hard to dump product ░░░░░░░░ their cost because European ░░░░░░░░ western nations are spending ░░░░░░░░ of money on this ░░░░░░░░ want to control that ░░░░░░░░ chain but Stuart you ░░░░░░░░ 67 of electric generating ░░░░░░░░ That s very different ░░░░░░░░ 67 of electricity generation ░░░░░░░░ particularly electricity generation at ░░░░░░░░ demand If you subsidize ░░░░░░░░ people will do a ░░░░░░░░ of it Stuart it ░░░░░░░░ 66 but that s ░░░░░░░░ the point here It ░░░░░░░░ 676 new capacity Okay ░░░░░░░░ Secretary there s growing ░░░░░░░░ in Congress for a ░░░░░░░░ energy tax credit Is ░░░░░░░░ something the White House ░░░░░░░░ going to get behind ░░░░░░░░ think not I think ░░░░░░░░ I think that it ░░░░░░░░ big mistake The term ░░░░░░░░ energy is just a ░░░░░░░░ term There s no ░░░░░░░░ energy All energy sources ░░░░░░░░ trade off Solar and ░░░░░░░░ take over 100 times ░░░░░░░░ land 10 times more ░░░░░░░░ and cement and heavy ░░░░░░░░ to produce There s ░░░░░░░░ clean energy Just different ░░░░░░░░ offs but and they ░░░░░░░░ t renewable either but ░░░░░░░░ variable weather dependent energy ░░░░░░░░ are heavily subsidized which ░░░░░░░░ there s jobs to ░░░░░░░░ those things in certain ░░░░░░░░ and politicians think that ░░░░░░░░ good but at the ░░░░░░░░ of the day the ░░░░░░░░ of them has been ░░░░░░░░ expensive electricity in the ░░░░░░░░ States less reliable grid ░░░░░░░░ the continual outsourcing of ░░░░░░░░ intensive jobs out of ░░░░░░░░ country Like this is ░░░░░░░░ the wrong direction and ░░░░░░░░ Trump got elected to ░░░░░░░░ that nonsense bring back ░░░░░░░░ sense people want affordable ░░░░░░░░ They want reliable electricity ░░░░░░░░ want manufacturing jobs in ░░░░░░░░ United States It s ░░░░░░░░ common sense Stuart before ░░░░░░░░ were confirmed you talked ░░░░░░░░ about the positives of ░░░░░░░░ warming The global warming ░░░░░░░░ actually be a good ░░░░░░░░ Do you want to ░░░░░░░░ that Yeah I always ░░░░░░░░ about the trade offs ░░░░░░░░ it Yes co 2 ░░░░░░░░ not a pollutant It ░░░░░░░░ plant food We ve ░░░░░░░░ it 50 in the ░░░░░░░░ and for 40 plus ░░░░░░░░ the planet is greening ░░░░░░░░ productivity is up grasslands ░░░░░░░░ forests are growing faster ░░░░░░░░ before That s absolutely ░░░░░░░░ positive 10 times more ░░░░░░░░ die of the cold ░░░░░░░░ year than die of ░░░░░░░░ warm So a little ░░░░░░░░ warmer planet means a ░░░░░░░░ less risky for human ░░░░░░░░ Of course there s ░░░░░░░░ to global warming and ░░░░░░░░ s negatives too but ░░░░░░░░ s just be sober ░░░░░░░░ honest about it It ░░░░░░░░ not a quasi myth ░░░░░░░░ call we treat it ░░░░░░░░ a religion and everyone ░░░░░░░░ going to die in ░░░░░░░░ or 20 years Nothing ░░░░░░░░ the data nothing in ░░░░░░░░ science shows anything like ░░░░░░░░ I want to be ░░░░░░░░ informed Not climate alarmists ░░░░░░░░ climate denied Just climate ░░░░░░░░ That s the Trump ░░░░░░░░ Stuart is the green ░░░░░░░░ deal absolutely dead The ░░░░░░░░ new deal should be ░░░░░░░░ and we re doing ░░░░░░░░ we can to kill ░░░░░░░░ but as you mentioned ░░░░░░░░ love candy If there ░░░░░░░░ a subsidy in place ░░░░░░░░ it brings money spent ░░░░░░░░ their state they think ░░░░░░░░ s good Regardless of ░░░░░░░░ long term impacts those ░░░░░░░░ term expenditures of those ░░░░░░░░ feel good but that ░░░░░░░░ how we got in ░░░░░░░░ budget trouble right We ░░░░░░░░ today 1 30 for ░░░░░░░░ dollar we spend in ░░░░░░░░ If you did that ░░░░░░░░ your household you know ░░░░░░░░ is coming but today ░░░░░░░░ feels good We re ░░░░░░░░ a lot of money ░░░░░░░░ that s the kind ░░░░░░░░ stuff we have to ░░░░░░░░ and we have reverse ░░░░░░░░ Trump and his administration ░░░░░░░░ doing everything they can ░░░░░░░░ that tide but that ░░░░░░░░ hard to do for ░░░░░░░░ and Congress controls the ░░░░░░░░ strings I personally hope ░░░░░░░░ subsidies for all kinds ░░░░░░░░ energy get ended That ░░░░░░░░ the only way you ░░░░░░░░ drive down prices and ░░░░░░░░ the growth of government ░░░░░░░░ Mr Secretary Chris Wright ░░░░░░░░ you very much for ░░░░░░░░ us We do hope ░░░░░░░░ see you again and
