Shale gas fracker who is now the U.S. Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, bemoaned the country trying to develop new clean energy sources to enhance and replace fossil fuels by past administrations in an effort to cover up Trump’s terrible energy polices having major ramifications this summer.
The Wall Street Journal warns that the US power grid is in danger this summer because of heat waves covering this country, as well as depleted reservoirs, wildfires, and the massive increase in data centers of putting a strain on the system.
Wright was asked about this on Fox Business, so he quickly blamed President Obama and Biden for the energy problems today.
WRIGHT: These are blue state policies and the Obama administration policies and Biden administration policies. Seventeen years ago the Democrats decided they’re the party of expensive energy. They’re the party of unreality. We’re gonna oppose fossil fuels even other 80% of American energy and 80% of American energy.
We’re gonna bet on the wind. We’re gonna bet on new gas plants. Close nuclear plants and we’re gonna bet the farm on the sun and the wind.
That was a disastrous bet that drove high electricity prices and stopped any growth of American electricity production.
