LOS ANGELES.–White House spin doctors blast former President Donald Trump for a speech in Iowa in which he dismissed wind and solar energy as inefficient ways to generate energy compared to gas and coal-fired power plants. Trump said in his speech to “drill, drill, drill,” referring for the need of more conventional domestic energy, noting the inefficiency of wind, solar and other alternative energy sources. “Remember this, the currents, both sea and air, they fly right over our country,” Trump said. The current, the water comes down the Pacific, right out of China, so when they dump their garbage in the Pacific, it comes right down along our coast, on the West Coast past Los Angeles,” Trump said. Biden’s campaign says Trump is “confused,” equating him with same confusion Trump has said about Biden. Trump was explaining what happens when China pollutes the water and atmosphere.
Biden’s take on Trump’s statements are to make him look incoherent, when, in fact, he’s telling the truth about the inefficiency of renewable energy. Biden’s secret plan, not discussed in public but behind closed doors, is to push for nuclear power across the United States, replacing coal and gas-powered power plants wherever possible. Biden and his Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm know nothing about energy other than what they’re sold by the nuclear power industry. Several publicly traded companies led by Westinghouse all push for Small Modular Reactors [SMRs] for the future of U.S. energy. Biden and Granholm don’t know the dangers of nuclear power, whether the old breed of reactors or the newer SMRs, including producing indestructible nuclear waste, but, more importantly, how the SMRs leak radioactivity when in production.
Biden’s 80-year-old Climate Czar, former Secretary of State and U.S. Sen. John Kerry, also knows nothing about the dangers of nuclear power, other than what he hears from the nuclear power industry. “Much of its pours onto our land, but our waters are very dirty because they dump their garbage in the ocean and it’s about a four or five day journey,” Trump said. “The tides bring it by. Nobody every talks about that,” referring to how the Chinese pollute the ocean and atmosphere in the United States. Trump thinks Biden pushes for Chinese made wind turbines that clutter the landscape over the United States, killing birds, while it generates minimal amounts of electricity. Trump knows better than most that Biden’s real energy plan involves transitioning from solar and wind power to nuclear power, trading carbon emissions from coal and gas energy to nuclear radiation.
Biden’s energy policy has gaslighted the public, believing it’s focused on only wind, solar and other renewable sources. But behind the scenes at the U.N. climate conference, like the one last month in Dubai, the nuclear industry makes the strongest pitch to replace carbon emissions with nuclear radiation. So, however nuclear saves carbon emission and global warming, it opens up a can of worms in terms to nuclear disposal and radiation. Climate activists don’t like to talk about nuclear power because they want to pretend their movement to reduce greenhouse gases is about using pollution free renewable energy. Biden and Granholm have made clear their intent to transition the U.S. off coal and gas-fired power plants, to replace it with carbon free Small Nuclear Reastors [SMRs]. Biden refuses to admit his plan to nuclearize all U.S. power plants long after he’s expired.
Biden’s campaign has taken to pointing out the cognitive frailties of Trump, raising issues like his views on Chinese pollution in the ocean and atmosphere. But Trump has shown no inconsistency, saying he would drill more conventional oil wells, making the U.S. the world’s leading producer of fossil fuels. Trump hasn’t taken a position on nuclear power but clearly shows no inclination toward less efficient sources like wind and solar power.”When they fire up their plants and all of that pollution comes over the seas and it comes right over our land. And then they want us to have clean,” Trump said. “I said wait. We’re gonna be clean but it’s all flying,” Trump said. “Just remember that. Does that make sense,” saying he wants to see China clean up their act. Trump resents Biden’s pandering to environmental groups without mentioning he would take the nation nuclear.
Voters in 2024 aren’t fooled by either Biden or Trump, wanting to follow a person in their prime to lead the country. Since that’s not happening yet, voters for the time being are left with Biden and Trump, unless something dramatic happens. If either former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wins the nomination, Democrats would pressure Biden to drop out, running a younger candidate. Polls show that about 75% of Democrat and Republican voters want and younger candidate in 2024. Neither Biden nor Trump fill that bill because Biden would be 82 while Trump 78 at the time of inauguration. Biden’s campaign has taken to pointing out haw Trump has lost a step since 2020. When it comes to Biden, the White House wants the public to think Biden is fit for office. Anyone listening to Biden knows he’s not fit for another term.
