It would be pretty easy as a person who cares about clean energy, cares about the environment to be pretty disappointed with the Trump administration, both the first term and the first year of the second term and think, there's an opportunity cost to not increasing funding for these things. Why can't you be helping that? But it's actually worse than that. They're not just not helping, [00:00:20] they're actively waging war on a lot of these technologies. The Trump administration is now facing widespread reporting that they are using uh Suppose it concerns about national security to do a clamp down on wind farms. And not a little bit. Approvals for about [00:00:35] 165 different onshore wind projects on private land are being stalled by the DOD. These are supposed to be just like final reviews, you sign off on it, and that's what they're doing. But they're going even beyond that. In the past six weeks, the Trump administration has moved [00:00:53] to spend nearly $2 billion. reimbursing energy companies. Right. Abandoning plans to do offshore. Correct. We're spending money so that we don't build this energy. That's right. And Chuck, the wind farms are talking about here could generate up to 30 gigawatts enough to power [00:01:11] 15 million homes. Correct. um So I know that the president says that wind is ugly and of course, what about the eagles? They kill so many eagles. That beautiful bird, they're [00:01:30] beautiful. That's our national bird. A lot of people don't know that. But the deal is these wind projects, um I've sit on the board of the New York Water Alliance. And um we were working [00:01:47] with a company Equinor to bring offshore wind to help power. New York City, which right now uh is still using something called peaker plants, which are horrible for the environment and [00:02:04] horrible for any people that live around them, okay? So when you look at clean energy, okay, renewable clean energy, those are three different things that they are. We say it like it's the [00:02:19] name, but it's not the name. It is the things that they are. They are renewable, which means that they're a sustainable source that we can access over and over again because they are always here, okay? Even if the sun doesn't shine at night, even if the wind doesn't [00:02:40] blow down the plane all day long, that's what batteries are for. And that is what other countries are doing, and they're doing it very, very well. And as a result, are developing battery technology that is going to leave us in the dust. Okay, so that it is renewable, [00:03:01] it is clean. That's not a title. It means that if from start to finish, you use this kind of energy, there is no carbon output. And that means that it's a solution. existential [00:03:21] threat that has faced our species, period. And people don't believe that because they don't see the science. But if you actually see the science, which is being suppressed by fossil fuel companies because they have $50 trillion of oil in the ground, and they [00:03:43] call that stranded assets. And it's the biggest like fear word in the industry. Do not leave this money in the ground. We gotta get the money out of the ground. That's where they are coming from. And then the last thing is energy. It is indeed what we need to power the country. [00:04:06] And when you talk about these wind turbines, these big huge wind turbines, now they sit way out. So it's not like they're really ugly. You see them as little dots on the on a clear day, you can see that they are wind turbines, so true. But some of the giant ones, which [00:04:25] we're not even building here, we're not even building those here. But the ones in the Netherlands that are so huge, one turbine powers like a city. It's insane, it's insane. I [00:04:41] mean-. They're massive. It's so exciting. um But here's what you have to understand people. Our government, he went to, let me just back up, let me say this cleanly so that I can be [00:04:58] understood. Donald Trump was running for office. He said to the public, I'm going to get your costs down. You're not going to be paying this much for gas. You're not going to be paying this much for your electric. you're not going to be paying this much at the pump, okay? So [00:05:19] and gas, mean natural gas. Then he turns right around, holds a dinner with the fossil fuel industry and tells them, give me a billion dollars. And you'll have nothing to worry [00:05:37] about. Now those things sit diametrically opposed to one another. You cannot tell people that you're going to get their costs down and then tell the energy companies that they're going to make a ton of money. The energy companies make a ton of money by restricting the commodity. [00:05:54] Gas is a global commodity, oil is a global commodity. When you restrict it, you drive up the demand, the demand raises the price. They make a crap ton more money, which is what is happening right now, okay? So- What happens is this, what you are seeing America [00:06:15] is what happens when corruption enters the arena and plays on the field. The people in the stands pay the price for watching the game, not the guys on the field, they don't ever [00:06:35] lose. All the players on the field win. people watching the game, they lose because corruption cost you. When you have cronyism, when you have the um suborning of companies where [00:06:54] they're paying off the politicians like we have, we're the ones who pay. So now what's happening? The administration is suppressing renewable fuels, clean energy, and as a result, [00:07:09] we are falling behind the rest of the world. Yeah. Yeah, it feels like a massive betrayal. Yeah, we should be the leader on this and Donald Trump doesn't want us to. Yeah, by the way, I wasn't funny at all during that. Jesus, what the hell is wrong with me? I warned people [00:07:25] that you are actually very intelligent, so they should have been ready for that. But yeah, you're totally right on all your points. Look, I agree, wind turbines. are not the most beautiful form of energy unlike coal power plants, which are beautiful. God. Naturally with the environment. [00:07:43] They're they're clean, beautiful, beautiful clean coal. You know what TYT has always been about, taking on the corrupt greedy establishment. For us, it's the corporate media.
