We had these subsidies were put in place, which were destroying our incentive infrastructure for natural gas powered plants, for our ability to move oil and gas products, because there was so much money flowing into wind and solar, which are inefficient and unreliable.

So we were fighting to pull those subsidies back.

Well, we had really good provisions in there to pull back most of the subsidies and the squishes in the Senate, the Democrats pulled them all out.

That's what I stood up and I literally voted against the big beautiful bill that weekend and took the scorn from everybody.

And we were able to get about half of those back in.

You have to estimate it a bit.

My view is we need to plow forward and remove the remainder of those subsidies to open up a full, true competition.

Look, if wind and solar can compete, great.

But they're competing right now with crony capitalism with the subsidies that are fueling them.

That undermines our ability to have a more reliable grid.

So that's one thing we need to do.

The second thing we need to do is open up nuclear rapid fire.

We are taking way too long

to move forward to get true nuclear moving and running again.

That's actually good, solid, reliable power.

The third thing we got to do is deal with permitting.

And you put all that stuff in the pot, if we can get the permitting on the NEPA, the environmental protection guidelines and all those things, we can actually move forward and be able to get the true full independence of what we were capable of doing in America.

If you've got nuclear power, and if you've got unsubsidized wind and solar, fine, use it where it's useful.

And if you've got true natural gas that we're pumping out in Texas through fracking, then America is unstoppable.

That's what we've got to do.
