What Joe Biden did, which really was unprecedented, is now he introduced a level of fear on any major infrastructure project that if you don't finish a project before a presidential cycle, you could have it ripped out from under you. And the really pernicious thing about what Joe Biden did, Keystone didn't make this decision with Donald Trump.
They made it with the American government, the full faith and credit of the American government. And now the private sector is worried. So, imagine someone does restart the pipeline, right? Think of the billions of dollars that it will take in financing. Think of how much work it is to get 1200 miles of pipeline constructed and moved into place and personnel.
But now it's 2028, and Gavin Newsom is running for president, and all he does is say, and when I'm elected, I am going to shut down that pipeline. Well, there's your investment.
But going back to Keystone, this is what Joe Biden did, who's going to invest multi-billion dollars in a huge infrastructure project if the next guy is going to rip it out from under you.
Pretty easy, especially when it comes to Keystone. The reason why Keystone was tricky is because it crosses an international border.
And to get a little nerdy on you for a second, the only reason why the president is involved in that is because a hundred and God knows how many years ago when the very first telegraph wires arrived from Europe and they got to New York and someone said, are we just allowed to bring these on shore? Do we need permission? And no one knew what to do. And someone said, ask the State Department.
It's from England, maybe the State Department. So, every time you hear Keystone and they say, well, the State Department gave permission, for some reason, they gave that authority to the State Department. An easy way to solve this, Congress should take it back. Well, why is the State Department making decisions on pipelines? It shouldn't. That should be a congressional decision. So, there are fixes
But my point is we need a fix before any private sector company invests billions in this project.
We've definitely got the administration in support of it. And Energy Secretary Wright actually started in the nuclear space. He knows the nuclear space very, very well. And President Trump's talked about it. When you look especially at remote communities, I had a recent conversation with the governor of Alaska on this. To build infrastructure to get coal or natural gas, that's almost impossible.
But you can build a self-sustaining, self-contained, small micronuclear plant and bring power to rural communities. The problem though is, again, can you get it built before the next presidential cycle? And that's why you're going to have this same level of fear. Nuclear, for some reason, scares people. It shouldn't.
Yeah, small micro-nukes, I think you can get that around three and a half years. Yeah, and it's going to be really pushing to make that happen. But there's no reason why we should have this level of fear. We have so many raw materials. We have the uranium for nuclear in Alaska. We have so many raw materials in this country that energy should be an afterthought.
Electricity bills should almost be free. And I don't mean that in a socialist way, like a Bernie Sanders healthcare way. I mean, it should be so abundant and inexpensive that your utility bills, like our grandparents back in the day, never worried about the utility bill. It's only recently it's become expensive, and that's because of these communist green policies.
Exactly. And I think the energy emergency that President declared will hopefully thwart a lot of these efforts by these radical green groups, a lot of whom are funded by foreign agents, right?
Because if you want to open Pebble Mine in Alaska, which is a huge copper deposit, or Twin Metals in Minnesota, another huge copper deposit, well, if you have copper mines that are run by nine-year-old girls and slave labor, right, you're making really good margins. Do I want to compete? Do I want to lower the price of copper worldwide as a commodity? Hell no.
So it's easiest to fund green groups to scare the crap out of people about climate change when all you're doing is just protecting your overseas investment. Tom Steyer, who ran for president on this platform, we're going to stop fossil fuels, is one of the largest investors in overseas mining.
So he's fine with a nine-year-old child in Indonesia, but he will be damned if a man in West Virginia mined coal. Yeah, no, I'm glad you raised that.
Exactly. It's such a great point. We've done a number of congressional studies, studies for Congress that we bring to legislators that I knock on doors and try to get them to pay attention. China controls 95% of the rare earth and metals and minerals industry worldwide. Now, they operate in Chile, they operate in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they are mines owned and operated by the communist Chinese.
And so we say, let's be green, let's build solar panels. Well, the solar panels are made in communist China with those raw materials, and somehow that's considered green. I don't know why the Chinese can burn coal to make solar panels, but we can't burn coal to make electricity. And so China absolutely pushes this agenda. You see them at the World Economic Forum.
You see them at these climate conferences saying, we applaud the Paris Accord. We applaud people caring about the climate. Of course they do. They're making a boatload of money off of the West being petrified of climate change.
Well, BP made a big announcement yesterday that they were investing less of their resources into renewables, and they were doubling down on BP Petroleum. They were going back to drilling. And of course they are, because the renewables, as soon as the money dries up, the subsidies from the government, the renewables are absolutely valueless. They don't work. They're terribly expensive.
