Trump: Paris Accord ‘a Massive Redistribution of United States Wealth to Other Countries’

‘At 1 percent growth, renewable sources of energy can meet some of our domestic demand, but at 3 or 4 percent growth, which I expect, we need all forms of available American energy’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “We would find it very hard to compete with other countries from other parts of the world. We have among the most abundant energy reserves on the planet, sufficient to lift millions of America’s poorest workers out of poverty. Yet under this agreement, we’re effectively putting these reserves under lock and key, taking away the great wealth of our nation, it's great wealth, it's phenomenal wealth — not so long ago, we had no idea we had such wealth — and leaving millions and millions of families trapped in poverty and joblessness. The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries."
