RUSH TRANSCRIPT Power the ░░░░░░░░ dot com Daniel Turner ░░░░░░░░ welcome to the show ░░░░░░░░ to be all of ░░░░░░░░ think your merry Christmas ░░░░░░░░ Christmas to you you ░░░░░░░░ an op ed three ░░░░░░░░ ago in the or ░░░░░░░░ reporter The headline is ░░░░░░░░ 20 20 six predictions ░░░░░░░░ American energy policy American ░░░░░░░░ policy is become so ░░░░░░░░ It s you gotta ░░░░░░░░ about have the right ░░░░░░░░ in the right amount ░░░░░░░░ it at the ripe ░░░░░░░░ to power of of ░░░░░░░░ of three hundred and ░░░░░░░░ million people whose of ░░░░░░░░ trillion dollars Now all ░░░░░░░░ all these other sideline ░░░░░░░░ issues you re 20 ░░░░░░░░ six predictions for American ░░░░░░░░ policy share them with ░░░░░░░░ I appreciate your in ░░░░░░░░ bed a shout out ░░░░░░░░ a joke at the ░░░░░░░░ of the peace that ░░░░░░░░ are risky because they ░░░░░░░░ come back and bite ░░░░░░░░ in the button I ░░░░░░░░ stand by them You ░░░░░░░░ will come back next ░░░░░░░░ and see if I ░░░░░░░░ right or wrong but ░░░░░░░░ s a couple things ░░░░░░░░ see me energy space ░░░░░░░░ s happening that I ░░░░░░░░ will be important and ░░░░░░░░ 20 six and the ░░░░░░░░ one is what I ░░░░░░░░ blue state blue states ░░░░░░░░ crisis or blue state ░░░░░░░░ and we re already ░░░░░░░░ to see this Climate ░░░░░░░░ the big do a ░░░░░░░░ Chinese made solar panels ░░░░░░░░ all of that really ░░░░░░░░ by blue state governors ░░░░░░░░ mayors but a lot ░░░░░░░░ them up for reelection ░░░░░░░░ now and and it ░░░░░░░░ t worked it s ░░░░░░░░ very expensive It s ░░░░░░░░ s lead to unreliable ░░░░░░░░ Grids and shortages of ░░░░░░░░ home heating oil in ░░░░░░░░ case of all of ░░░░░░░░ England and what you ░░░░░░░░ going to start to ░░░░░░░░ are more more blue ░░░░░░░░ governors who want to ░░░░░░░░ their job suddenly pivot ░░░░░░░░ case in point Maura ░░░░░░░░ is the best example ░░░░░░░░ democratic governor of Massachusetts ░░░░░░░░ record on video bragging ░░░░░░░░ how she stopped and ░░░░░░░░ gas pipelines from Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ she block them because ░░░░░░░░ climate change But now ░░░░░░░░ s saying no No ░░░░░░░░ No I never blocked ░░░░░░░░ I actually my champion ░░░░░░░░ the natural gas industry ░░░░░░░░ Is my evil twin ░░░░░░░░ that good that I ░░░░░░░░ very I wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ that The media just ░░░░░░░░ the water for her ░░░░░░░░ one on the media ░░░░░░░░ her pizza The fire ░░░░░░░░ wait a second You ░░░░░░░░ to brag about this ░░░░░░░░ the pivot kathy governor ░░░░░░░░ my home state of ░░░░░░░░ York the empire s ░░░░░░░░ same deal is as ░░░░░░░░ quietly worked at the ░░░░░░░░ Administration to build A ░░░░░░░░ gas pipelines from Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ talked about opening a ░░░░░░░░ reactor aware her predecessor ░░░░░░░░ Cuomo closed nuclear reactors ░░░░░░░░ climate change but probably ░░░░░░░░ most salient example Even ░░░░░░░░ he s not up ░░░░░░░░ reelection but he s ░░░░░░░░ To lay the groundwork ░░░░░░░░ his 20 20 eight ░░░░░░░░ run Of course Gavin ░░░░░░░░ who governor governor wire ░░░░░░░░ governor And governor has ░░░░░░░░ very quietly extended oil ░░░░░░░░ gas leases off the ░░░░░░░░ of of California because ░░░░░░░░ needs the tax revenue ░░░░░░░░ big businesses are leaving ░░░░░░░░ but he can t ░░░░░░░░ the oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ in California Oddly enough ░░░░░░░░ a lot of oil ░░░░░░░░ gas He just makes ░░░░░░░░ impossible to produce and ░░░░░░░░ to the surface and ░░░░░░░░ to market so he ░░░░░░░░ extended oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ when he s been ░░░░░░░░ to shut them down ░░░░░░░░ Because he needs the ░░░░░░░░ and he needs the ░░░░░░░░ headed into his presidential ░░░░░░░░ So I think prediction ░░░░░░░░ energy Is this the ░░░░░░░░ The also found out ░░░░░░░░ hair jail is made ░░░░░░░░ of it It is ░░░░░░░░ of great products are ░░░░░░░░ from fossil fuels that ░░░░░░░░ see that is as ░░░░░░░░ gift from god in ░░░░░░░░ ingenuity One of the ░░░░░░░░ some sees it as ░░░░░░░░ chance The tax people ░░░░░░░░ Germany not a cautionary ░░░░░░░░ on all of this ░░░░░░░░ state the energy lunacy ░░░░░░░░ me look at that ░░░░░░░░ s a brilliant point ░░░░░░░░ a week and look ░░░░░░░░ our blue states and ░░░░░░░░ there for six years ░░░░░░░░ this mess but Germany ░░░░░░░░ most of western yeah ░░░░░░░░ 30 years into this ░░░░░░░░ and it has never ░░░░░░░░ it hasn t kicked ░░░░░░░░ anywhere if as adults ░░░░░░░░ going to agree worked ░░░░░░░░ be understood as creating ░░░░░░░░ more reliable energy source ░░░░░░░░ more reliable great a ░░░░░░░░ stable grid and lowering ░░░░░░░░ for consumers And we ░░░░░░░░ hearing for years even ░░░░░░░░ used to joke this ░░░░░░░░ and former Biden energy ░░░░░░░░ Jennifer Granholm would would ░░░░░░░░ this line all the ░░░░░░░░ the sun is free ░░░░░░░░ wind is free will ░░░░░░░░ something that s free ░░░░░░░░ sure has cost us ░░░░░░░░ lotta Damn money electricity ░░░░░░░░ under Biden or up ░░░░░░░░ five Forty percent in ░░░░░░░░ Is it is a ░░░░░░░░ study of what is ░░░░░░░░ sometimes costs an arm ░░░░░░░░ a leg All right ░░░░░░░░ s prediction once a ░░░░░░░░ state pivot on energy ░░░░░░░░ to fossil fuels for ░░░░░░░░ simple practical reason if ░░░░░░░░ don t they re ░░░░░░░░ lose them Isn t ░░░░░░░░ sad they re not ░░░░░░░░ it because they want ░░░░░░░░ bring down rates for ░░░░░░░░ their constituents They want ░░░░░░░░ help their state s ░░░░░░░░ now they re doing ░░░░░░░░ just cause They want ░░░░░░░░ keep their job and ░░░░░░░░ know what I guess ░░░░░░░░ I ll take it ░░░░░░░░ I want people to ░░░░░░░░ do better and to ░░░░░░░░ and I don t ░░░░░░░░ don t want states ░░░░░░░░ collapse but it really ░░░░░░░░ make you angry that ░░░░░░░░ re not do should ░░░░░░░░ care about same reason ░░░░░░░░ como Harris last year ░░░░░░░░ talked about climate change ░░░░░░░░ her short campaign She ░░░░░░░░ to win The existential ░░░░░░░░ of climate change was ░░░░░░░░ gonna help her so ░░░░░░░░ just didn t talk ░░░░░░░░ it and it s ░░░░░░░░ s tragic that that ░░░░░░░░ how our blue state ░░░░░░░░ are Democrats see what ░░░░░░░░ were On the one ░░░░░░░░ tell us is gonna ░░░░░░░░ humanity blood and not ░░░░░░░░ that The ending of ░░░░░░░░ s gonna cost me ░░░░░░░░ cloud than the with ░░░░░░░░ humanity be damned I ░░░░░░░░ get I gotta keep ░░░░░░░░ job is the only ░░░░░░░░ bugatti inhibitors Nails and ░░░░░░░░ t do anything of ░░░░░░░░ values or I predict ░░░░░░░░ the at added centers ░░░░░░░░ that isn t isn ░░░░░░░░ a I are gonna ░░░░░░░░ a huge problem across ░░░░░░░░ board I think they ░░░░░░░░ be a bipartisan and ░░░░░░░░ here on Everyone who ░░░░░░░░ in elected office loves ░░░░░░░░ ribbon cutting ceremony and ░░░░░░░░ want to put out ░░░░░░░░ press release to say ░░░░░░░░ we are part Entering ░░░░░░░░ Microsoft or mehta or ░░░░░░░░ Zuckerberg is on his ░░░░░░░░ here to cut the ░░░░░░░░ for a nine million ░░░░░░░░ data center The construction ░░░░░░░░ love data centers because ░░░░░░░░ is a lot of ░░░░░░░░ and an end steel ░░░░░░░░ unions love dat centres ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ power pressure for governors ░░░░░░░░ mayors to build these ░░░░░░░░ left and right but ░░░░░░░░ re costing us a ░░░░░░░░ of money they re ░░░░░░░░ they They use a ░░░░░░░░ amount of electricity and ░░░░░░░░ is not very popular ░░░░░░░░ build a coal plant ░░░░░░░░ to build a natural ░░░░░░░░ plant let alone a ░░░░░░░░ plant So what we ░░░░░░░░ seeing is an increase ░░░░░░░░ band of electricity he ░░░░░░░░ increasing the actual supply ░░░░░░░░ the result prices are ░░░░░░░░ gonna continue to grow ░░░░░░░░ and and since the ░░░░░░░░ and left in this ░░░░░░░░ to Penn up work ░░░░░░░░ in any meaningful way ░░░░░░░░ they will do was ░░░░░░░░ fingers at each other ░░░░░░░░ so in my home ░░░░░░░░ of Virginia where I ░░░░░░░░ right now my beautiful ░░░░░░░░ in shenandoah our current ░░░░░░░░ governor who s ending ░░░░░░░░ term Glenn young and ░░░░░░░░ was a very good ░░░░░░░░ but he was a ░░░░░░░░ of data centres built ░░░░░░░░ left and right We ░░░░░░░░ a third of the ░░░░░░░░ s data centers in ░░░░░░░░ We did nothing to ░░░░░░░░ electricity production So what ░░░░░░░░ every Virginian now is ░░░░░░░░ close to forty percent ░░░░░░░░ for electricity an egg ░░░░░░░░ likes the ribbon cutting ░░░░░░░░ like to say the ░░░░░░░░ the investment the growth ░░░░░░░░ the state but the ░░░░░░░░ are getting kicked in ░░░░░░░░ teeth by data centers ░░░░░░░░ it is going to ░░░░░░░░ a huge thorn in ░░░░░░░░ side of this country ░░░░░░░░ adults are able to ░░░░░░░░ put together some sort ░░░░░░░░ master plan to increase ░░░░░░░░ production bullishly The of ░░░░░░░░ s Google is we ░░░░░░░░ t build a data ░░░░░░░░ we re gonna find ░░░░░░░░ of go chasing the ░░░░░░░░ So this is the ░░░░░░░░ centers gonna get built ░░░░░░░░ Yes Yeah and if ░░░░░░░░ is that this is ░░░░░░░░ as a simple solution ░░░░░░░░ m not saying don ░░░░░░░░ golden by any means ░░░░░░░░ I do wanna win ░░░░░░░░ war on a I ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ China to take that ░░░░░░░░ but just like when ░░░░░░░░ build anything you have ░░░░░░░░ worry about infrastructure right ░░░░░░░░ we re gonna build ░░░░░░░░ housing development you gotta ░░░░░░░░ about Do we need ░░░░░░░░ schools of anymore Hospitals ░░░░░░░░ we need wider roads ░░░░░░░░ one in the county ░░░░░░░░ likes to do that ░░░░░░░░ boring right We just ░░░░░░░░ the excitement of saying ░░░░░░░░ build five hundred new ░░░░░░░░ and well that s ░░░░░░░░ We have to look ░░░░░░░░ with data centers If ░░░░░░░░ re gonna put these ░░░░░░░░ across the country we ░░░░░░░░ to think of the ░░░░░░░░ part of infrastructure Otherwise ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ huge problem Right that ░░░░░░░░ predicts number two data ░░░░░░░░ chaos prediction three bucks ░░░░░░░░ is it just joining ░░░░░░░░ Daniel Turner power The ░░░░░░░░ are guess the predictions ░░░░░░░░ climate litigation galore because ░░░░░░░░ have to look at ░░░░░░░░ green movement You know ░░░░░░░░ hear big oil a ░░░░░░░░ and I get hoped ░░░░░░░░ the time on Michelle ░░░░░░░░ big oil big I ░░░░░░░░ I get some pejorative ░░░░░░░░ green as a lot ░░░░░░░░ than big oil big ░░░░░░░░ that the EPA the ░░░░░░░░ movement which has hundreds ░░░░░░░░ hundreds of quote unquote ░░░░░░░░ cumulatively has around four ░░░░░░░░ a half billion dollar ░░░░░░░░ operating budgets There are ░░░░░░░░ nonprofits that have staffs ░░░░░░░░ three thousand people that ░░░░░░░░ operating budgets of four ░░░░░░░░ million dollars They don ░░░░░░░░ like the fact that ░░░░░░░░ Trump is obviously in ░░░░░░░░ White House They don ░░░░░░░░ like the fact that ░░░░░░░░ idea was shut down ░░░░░░░░ Marco Rubio because a ░░░░░░░░ of that money somehow ░░░░░░░░ it s way back ░░░░░░░░ the climate movement right ░░░░░░░░ don t like the ░░░░░░░░ that no hurricane hit ░░░░░░░░ nation and 20 20 ░░░░░░░░ of the other know ░░░░░░░░ re not they re ░░░░░░░░ happy about the fact ░░░░░░░░ we didn t we ░░░░░░░░ t have a devastating ░░░░░░░░ They wanted to know ░░░░░░░░ did And None of ░░░░░░░░ cool people went the ░░░░░░░░ 30 in Brazil right ░░░░░░░░ big climate summit that ░░░░░░░░ didn t is I ░░░░░░░░ there was a point ░░░░░░░░ that where they bulldozed ░░░░░░░░ bunch of the rainforest ░░░░░░░░ order to accommodate they ░░░░░░░░ it for the climate ░░░░░░░░ so it s okay ░░░░░░░░ immune or I yes ░░░░░░░░ it was a for ░░░░░░░░ noble This a yoga ░░░░░░░░ that s why yo ░░░░░░░░ yo yes to boomer ░░░░░░░░ justice Six six feet ░░░░░░░░ unless you re right ░░░░░░░░ s a with only ░░░░░░░░ square miles of the ░░░░░░░░ they bulldoze to make ░░░░░░░░ for the climate movement ░░░░░░░░ it sells for the ░░░░░░░░ movement So if you ░░░░░░░░ in this climate space ░░░░░░░░ you re one of ░░░░░░░░ thousands of climate activists ░░░░░░░░ climate lawyers on the ░░░░░░░░ are your only thing ░░░░░░░░ right and is why ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden fought tooth ░░░░░░░░ nail on the second ░░░░░░░░ of his administration to ░░░░░░░░ the Senate If you ░░░░░░░░ going back to his ░░░░░░░░ mid terms we them ░░░░░░░░ of the Strategic Petroleum ░░░░░░░░ to try to lower ░░░░░░░░ price of oil because ░░░░░░░░ Biden wanted to keep ░░░░░░░░ Santa Joe Biden did ░░░░░░░░ everything necessary to keep ░░░░░░░░ Schumer and power and ░░░░░░░░ worked there Kept the ░░░░░░░░ and because of that ░░░░░░░░ kept all of the ░░░░░░░░ because everyone like Susan ░░░░░░░░ and Lindsey Graham always ░░░░░░░░ for a democratic judge ░░░░░░░░ all allah has judges ░░░░░░░░ on So if you ░░░░░░░░ the climate space you ░░░░░░░░ police a you only ░░░░░░░░ right now is in ░░░░░░░░ courts We have a ░░░░░░░░ of sympathetic judges that ░░░░░░░░ appointed in his four ░░░░░░░░ and you have nothing ░░░░░░░░ to do you You ░░░░░░░░ No you have no ░░░░░░░░ on your side You ░░░░░░░░ have gobs of money ░░░░░░░░ manpower so climate litigation ░░░░░░░░ be the non stop ░░░░░░░░ for the climate movement ░░░░░░░░ also was a way ░░░░░░░░ get the the left ░░░░░░░░ galvanize for 20 20 ░░░░░░░░ saw 20 20 six ░░░░░░░░ terms right that that ░░░░░░░░ left always needs a ░░░░░░░░ whether it s occupy ░░░░░░░░ Street or George floyd ░░░░░░░░ need a movement to ░░░░░░░░ their activists pissed off ░░░░░░░░ angry and on the ░░░░░░░░ and banging drums and ░░░░░░░░ down and traffic climate ░░░░░░░░ will be that in ░░░░░░░░ 20 six This is ░░░░░░░░ very frustrated group of ░░░░░░░░ right now who had ░░░░░░░░ years the put their ░░░░░░░░ into motion It blew ░░░░░░░░ the economy it did ░░░░░░░░ it was most of ░░░░░░░░ money was stolen and ░░░░░░░░ are an angry group ░░░░░░░░ activists so litigation and ░░░░░░░░ courts or where you ░░░░░░░░ see most of the ░░░░░░░░ action this year You ░░░░░░░░ I m sitting here ░░░░░░░░ the it in in ░░░░░░░░ studio in Dallas Texas ░░░░░░░░ s currently 80 two ░░░░░░░░ with we celebrated Christmas ░░░░░░░░ on our back deck ░░░░░░░░ didn t sit in ░░░░░░░░ around the Christmas tree ░░░░░░░░ took the presence outside ░░░░░░░░ at elko although the ░░░░░░░░ on a beautiful beautiful ░░░░░░░░ and then ate dinner ░░░░░░░░ at Christmas dinner back ░░░░░░░░ but we have dealt ░░░░░░░░ knowing this was coming ░░░░░░░░ Liberal friend of ours ░░░░░░░░ sweet moment Male seasons ░░░░░░░░ s a very good ░░░░░░░░ the stuff about how ░░░░░░░░ it is clear evidence ░░░░░░░░ climate change in because ░░░░░░░░ have that such a ░░░░░░░░ job of demagoguing This ░░░░░░░░ that when we when ░░░░░░░░ get what we used ░░░░░░░░ call whether they turned ░░░░░░░░ into of a political ░░░░░░░░ that they turned it ░░░░░░░░ some reason for for ░░░░░░░░ action and of really ░░░░░░░░ the curtail a little ░░░░░░░░ Freedom and and that ░░░░░░░░ the joys of calling ░░░░░░░░ climate change because where ░░░░░░░░ am again in shenandoah ░░░░░░░░ had the coldest December ░░░░░░░░ start start of December ░░░░░░░░ in in in some ░░░░░░░░ year as we ve ░░░░░░░░ had to snow falls ░░░░░░░░ it s it s ░░░░░░░░ cold again today but ░░░░░░░░ ve had many many ░░░░░░░░ days in in the ░░░░░░░░ temperatures and that s ░░░░░░░░ but you know what ░░░░░░░░ blamed it on climate ░░░░░░░░ There s a video ░░░░░░░░ of of fat Our ░░░░░░░░ from NBC today show ░░░░░░░░ a couple days ago ░░░░░░░░ talking about how cold ░░░░░░░░ is a across New ░░░░░░░░ because of global warming ░░░░░░░░ you say oh that ░░░░░░░░ glad everything is climate ░░░░░░░░ Never these would but ░░░░░░░░ was It s being ░░░░░░░░ warming and when the ░░░░░░░░ globe stopped warming they ░░░░░░░░ it to climate change ░░░░░░░░ is just change the ░░░░░░░░ to to to to ░░░░░░░░ your agenda and again ░░░░░░░░ you are an activist ░░░░░░░░ this space of he ░░░░░░░░ believe in in the ░░░░░░░░ movement and you believe ░░░░░░░░ the power of government ░░░░░░░░ you hate the free ░░░░░░░░ of the fossil fuel ░░░░░░░░ You hate humanity isn ░░░░░░░░ in their heart of ░░░░░░░░ True key climate activists ░░░░░░░░ deeply misanthropic They they ░░░░░░░░ society they hate mankind ░░░░░░░░ re at it you ░░░░░░░░ you re courts your ░░░░░░░░ your activism you re ░░░░░░░░ arrested is all you ░░░░░░░░ left to play and ░░░░░░░░ 20 six and and ░░░░░░░░ think you will see ░░░░░░░░ lot of it because ░░░░░░░░ just they need something ░░░░░░░░ channel their energy towards ░░░░░░░░ the economy continues The ░░░░░░░░ shocked show signs of ░░░░░░░░ for improving Last economic ░░░░░░░░ are continuing to show ░░░░░░░░ if all the economic ░░░░░░░░ of the one big ░░░░░░░░ bill that kick off ░░░░░░░░ just a couple of ░░░░░░░░ on January one of ░░░░░░░░ that comes into play ░░░░░░░░ liken it to those ░░░░░░░░ us of a certain ░░░░░░░░ or remember our childhood ░░░░░░░░ the eighties how every ░░░░░░░░ had show of the ░░░░░░░░ Every sitcom had multiple ░░░░░░░░ about homelessness because of ░░░░░░░░ re in Hollywood and ░░░░░░░░ was 80 six and ░░░░░░░░ seven and America was ░░░░░░░░ gangbusters You hated Ronald ░░░░░░░░ so much that you ░░░░░░░░ a suddenly the clear ░░░░░░░░ jeb homeless the cosby ░░░░░░░░ family ties golden girls ░░░░░░░░ had a homelessness back ░░░░░░░░ life had episodes about ░░░░░░░░ because you were angry ░░░░░░░░ you had a make ░░░░░░░░ a reason to be ░░░░░░░░ because you hated Reagan ░░░░░░░░ the same now with ░░░░░░░░ this with President Trump ░░░░░░░░ re gonna be angry ░░░░░░░░ his economy The and ░░░░░░░░ at America s success ░░░░░░░░ they have the channel ░░░░░░░░ towards the never ending ░░░░░░░░ hysteria and will see ░░░░░░░░ next year Daniel of ░░░░░░░░ jump the some up ░░░░░░░░ the clock Daniel Turner ░░░░░░░░ executive director power the ░░░░░░░░ how two
