I mean, I think that there's stuff to learn from good and bad across the world.

I'm very biased.

I'm very partial in strongly believing that the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world.

I think that one of the best lessons that we can pick up on

is how much further Europe has gotten in their implementation of setting very strict restraints on their own economy in order to accomplish environmental goals.

And they're really dealing with a very big issue at the moment because of that economic impact

where they're now looking to revisit some of those goals on certain scales through federal policy here in the US and at other scales when you look at state policy inside the United States, especially when you look at states like New York and California,

We have policies that have been put in a place like electric vehicle mandates that we inherited and have since eliminated that impact consumer choice in a very negative way, that increase prices in a very negative way, that end up crushing jobs, that end up resulting in higher energy costs.

And those lessons that we are experiencing right here in the US in real time, we can look at other countries that are even further along

in setting some of those emissions goals and what it did to their own economy where we can learn a valuable lesson.

And lastly, I would just say it's very important for us to have eyes wide open as it relates to China

China has, they use more coal than the rest of the world combined.

It's actually 40% more.

They are increasing capacity with coal more than the rest of the world combined.

And when we're setting our own policies here in the United States and we're heeding any lessons of what's happening abroad,

We should not do it based off of propaganda that comes from spokespeople for those foreign countries.

We should do it based on the actual policies, the realities overseas.

And if we're going to learn a lesson, learn that lesson based on facts, not spin.

I strongly believe, and the Trump EPA strongly believes, in advancing cooperative federalism.

We want to work with states.
