And of course, that includes our fossil fuel baseload.

In the PGM market, 70% of the power was coming from...

from hydrocarbons during those storms.

I mean, America and the world is dependent on it and is gonna be in the long future.

Innovation is what we need to help solve any concerns that people might have about future climate change.

Well, it's easy, because we're not picking winners and losers.

We're picking reliable, affordable, nationally secure sources that can provide what Americans need, what we need for low prices for consumers, what we need for industry, and what we need for AI.

What we're not subsidizing any longer

is intermittent weather dependent foreign sourced which in the case of offshore wind hits all three of those but it's also the highest cost it's not affordable and it's also opposed by our marine fisheries i was meeting with a group of of third and fourth generation fishermen in new england last friday it's blowing up their business these are the farmers of the sea that put food on our table you meet with the marine mammal groups the save the whale groups they're opposed to offshore

National security now, there's classified reports out that the radar interference above the water and the sonar interference below the water of these massive offshore projects represent real national security risks.

These are not made up things.

These are things that have to be considered, particularly related to offshore.

But with the working families tax cut bill that got passed last July, people are not contemplating new projects.

We have companies that are coming to us from around the world that are saying, hey, we're not

going to be building offshore because we get it.

It was only viable because of the massive tax subsidies.

So Americans had to pay twice.

They had to pay in terms of higher electric costs, and then they also had to pay through these tax subsidies.

So it's all of the above that are reliable, affordable, dispatchable, and don't require massive subsidies.

I mean, and that's the level playing field that we're at right now.
