Trump Nominee Schools Democrat Senator On Energy In ‘Mic Drop’ MomentTrending Politics NewsBy Chris PowellJanuary 16, 2025During his Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing on Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, delivered a cutting rebuke to Democrats’ energy policies. The debate centered around clean energy and the Biden administration’s controversial Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which Republicans have frequently criticized for its ballooning costs.Ron Wyden (D-OR), a vocal critic of Trump’s energy agenda, attempted to frame the Trump administration’s rollback of green energy policies as a boon for China. “I think that’s going to be bad for the economy, but it is going to be damn good for China because we are in an arms race on clean energy with them. Are you going to be on the side of people who want to unravel this?” Wyden asked.“Just so we can frame this for everyone in the room, China will build a hundred new coal plants this year,” Bessent explained. “There is not a clean energy race. There is an energy race. China will build ten nuclear plants this year. That is not solar.”Bessent pressed on, showing his support for nuclear energy as a critical component of America’s energy independence. “I am in favor of more nuclear plants. And I would note that the IRA, as scored by the CBO, is wildly out of control in terms of spending on the upside.”(more)https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/watch-trump-nominee-schools-democrat-senator-on-energy-in-mic-drop-moment-mace/

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
