re: #143 Dr. Matt
Trump: “And from day one I want fracking and everything else to get energy prices low and to create tremendous energy,” he said during the interview. “We’re going to be self-supporting, we just about are now. We’re going to be exporting energy - he doesn’t want that. He would like Hillary where she wants to have windmills. He would much rather have that because energy prices would go up and Russia as you know relies very much on energy.”
Incomprehensible rambling from Trump who sputters and lacks any rational sense.
We’re going to be self-supporting. Okay. Sounds promising. Tell me more.
We are just about are now. So, Obama’s energy policy didn’t screw America, but we’re close to energy independence? Gotcha
We’re going to be exporting energy. We are now dumbass. The EIA has these statistics and stuff that’s widely available. Usage/import/export. All of it. None of your idiotic advisers bothers with these details, because you don’t have any use for them.
He doesn’t want that. I’m assuming that’s a Putin reference, but who the heck knows.
He would like Hillary where she wants to have windmills. Clinton said she wants to make more alt-energy, to lessen reliance on foreign oil (and oil generally). Higher oil prices help nations like KSA and Russia and oligarchs like Putin. Higher oil prices also incentivize countries to develop alt-energy and shift from oil to cheaper/more reliable energy sources like nat gas and even invest in wind, solar, nuclear, etc.
He would much rather have that because energy prices would go up and Russia as you know relies very much on energy. This is the opposite outcome from the preceding sentence. More alt energy investment means less reliance on oil, which means oil price drops due to lower demand. For someone who claimed to go to Wharton, you really don’t get basic supply/demand.
