U.S. economist Stephen Moore, former Trump economic adviser and co-author of “Trumponomics.
The Biden administration’s energy policy, ostensibly promoted as a fight against “climate change,” will not only eliminate America’s energy independence and prevent the development of trillions of dollars in domestic resources, but will also It will also kill thousands of people in extreme climates.
Moore expressed these views to special guest host Matt Boyle on Breitbart’s news program. He noted that in January, the U.S. did not import any oil from Saudi Arabia, yet President Biden, Democrats and the far left have been attributing the planet’s “climate crisis” to carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels.
Moore said, “Do you know how much oil we imported from Saudi Arabia during President Trump’s last month in office? Zero. That’s the first Time in 50 years, and that’s amazing, isn’t it? It’s an incredible accomplishment. We’ve waited 50 years to become energy independent. O people, we’re finally independent.”
Recalling the 1973 oil crisis caused by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries International (OPEC) embargo on U.S. oil, Moore said, “Saudi Arabia has been putting a knife in front of our throats.” “You have all kinds of gasoline shortages. Every time they raise the price of gas, the economy goes into recession. So, we waited 50 years to become energy independent. We finally reached that goal because Trump put America first. Trump said, ‘Let’s produce all the energy that we have.'”
Moore said Trump went beyond domestic energy independence and pursued global energy dominance. Recalling his time as an economic adviser in the Trump Administration, Moore said, “Trump said to me, ‘I don’t want to be satisfied with just energy independence, I also want to be energy dominant, and we can be energy dominant. We have more coal (and) more natural gas than any other country in the world.'”
Moore said, “We have 500 years worth of coal and at least 200 years worth of natural gas. We’re not running out of that.” “One of the biggest pipeline projects in the world is between Russia and China. Russia is shipping all the oil and gas from Siberia to China.” “Does any reasonable person really think that China will stop using fossil fuels? Do you think the Communist Party in Beijing would really care about climate change?”
Moore observed that the Biden Administration is squandering America’s natural resources in pursuit of its “climate change” policies. He asked, “Why can’t we use it [America’s coal and natural gas resources]?” “We have trillions of dollars in energy treasures and the left doesn’t want Americans to use it …… It doesn’t make sense.”
Even the electric cars that environmentalists are seeking will require the use of fossil fuels to produce electricity, Moore said. He said, “There’s nothing wrong with electric cars, but people have to realize that you have to have electricity in order to charge the batteries in an electric car. And that requires coal and oil as well.”
He warned that if the left’s “climate change” plan is implemented, thousands of people in Texas will die and millions will be left without electricity.
“The left wants to get rid of coal altogether,” Moore said. “But if we get rid of coal completely, then in the polar climate vortex in Texas, you’re going to have thousands of people without heat and light and thousands of people dying.”
