“Years ago, this was an issue that conservatives would run from. But it’s been amazing just looking back at the strategies that have been most successful in reducing emissions and ensuring the affordability of energy and it’s actually been the very solutions that conservatives have been pushing.”
“We’re in this situation where Republican or conservative solutions have resulted in lower emissions which have resulted in more affordable energy and the U.S. becoming energy independent. When you look at some of the solutions like the Green New Deal, those are the very policies that have resulted in higher emissions, and are the biggest...
“The thing that people need to understand too is the ability of American industry to do things cleaner.

The toughest part is that we have to unwind the dogma around nuclear, but I think we can definitely...
“Fusion technology, doubling down on our investments there. That is the future, that is a place where everyone understands the beauty of that technology, where it’s going, and the miracles that can happen with energy policy.”

The answer is really taking our responsibly-made goods and products and having them take up more of the...
