Did You Know Germany Is Running Back To Coal? · Conversations: Special Guests with Preston Scott

  Well, good morning. A little quieter morning than it was on Friday,
• 0:17
  but we do have some severe weather coming later today. Friends. Welcome Morning
• 0:21
  show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He's Grant. It's show fifty one
• 0:25
  fifty seven, Monday, the thirteenth of May. And please to have with
• 0:30
  us from Sea Fact. You're wondering what is Sea Fact Committee for a constructive
• 0:35
  Tomorrow? He's co founder Craig Record. Craig, good morning, Welcome.
• 0:38
  How are you, sir? I'm doing great, Thanks for having me on
• 0:42
  my pleasure, Thanks for the early our visit. Obviously, the entire transformation
• 0:50
  of this country that Barack Obama promised is happening under Joe Biden. We are
• 0:55
  committing energy suicide. And and yet there are developments happening abroad where it seems
• 1:03
  as though some are waking up to the nonsense. Or are they? I
• 1:07
  mean, how how much in the in the grip of climate fraud are we
• 1:12
  in worldwide? Oh my goodness, Yeah, I think there's a lot of
• 1:18
  buyers read morse. Many people aren't aware. But while Biden has made climate
• 1:23
  and he said this on day one that he came in, not his number
• 1:26
  two or three priority. It's his number one, probably at two three priority.
• 1:30
  Altogether, there are parts of the world that have actually jumped out ahead
• 1:36
  of us, and one of them is in Europe. Germany in particular has
• 1:40
  been making news. There's a program it undertook called Energy Agenda that dates back
• 1:46
  to the early two thousands, back in the Merkel administration, and what they
• 1:52
  try to do is get rid of all of their first and foremost their coal
• 1:55
  and fossil fuel plans. And then after the whole ful Kashima incident, Japan
• 2:00
  even got rid of its nuclear plants and went all spin, you know,
• 2:04
  push to go solar and wind entirely, almost And what wound up happening is
• 2:08
  that they were not getting enough electricity and they were experiencing blackouts. The Brandenburg
• 2:15
  Gate was going dark. They had to do energy austerity to the point that
• 2:21
  even more recently a you're a member of the Mundes dog actually said they may
• 2:27
  have to can weekend trips first residence because they just did not have the electricity
• 2:31
  they needed. So what they did is they opened up their lignite plants,
• 2:37
  and even right along they've been importing tremendous sums from outside of the country.
• 2:43
  While it's true they weren't eating coal or gas like a lot of countries that
• 2:46
  go solar and wind had to import it and where they get it from Putin's
• 2:51
  Russia. And even when they jumped back on nuclear, they wound up getting
• 2:54
  in a lot of their electricity from France, which is over seventy percent nuclear,
• 2:59
  so a lot of hipocrips. But you see at other places. Just
• 3:01
  this weekend, polls were out in mass going against their Green New Deal.
• 3:07
  France has done a step back. You had McCrone saying that they would get
• 3:12
  with a nuclear power, but in fact now they're going right back to it.
• 3:15
  So you know, really what we're embarking down into the bide administration has
• 3:22
  not worked anywhere in the world. Writers is reporting that Germany is in fact
• 3:27
  going to refire their coal plants. Is their truth to that. Absolutely,
• 3:31
  they got a lot of coal ability and their lignite plants are being brought back
• 3:38
  online. I think they had something like seven gigawats they had to fire up
• 3:44
  the year before this, and now they're moving up to over nine gigawatts.
• 3:47
  Is again, they went way overboard on renewable energy. Plus their electricity rates
• 3:52
  have gone through the roof in the United States were used to accustomed to paint
• 3:57
  about ten twelve cents to kill a watt hour as a consumer, Germany staying
• 4:00
  about thirty five cents of quila waite hour, And really their experience is reflective
• 4:06
  of other countries that go solar wind and try to do what they called net
• 4:11
  zero, which just so happens to be what our Biden administration wants to do.
• 4:15
  Because you can handle the truth. News Radio one hundred point seven Double

  Double UFLA. A Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow affectionately known as Sea Fact and
• 4:46
  co founder Craig record with us. Craig, I've observed on TV that the
• 4:49
  automobile manufacturers, and I want to focus on the German juggernaut known as Mercedes
• 4:56
  bands. They made a big deal they were going to be all electric by
• 5:00
  the year twenty thirty twenty thirty five. Perhaps now they have gone the dead
• 5:05
  opposite. They have announced that they're going to be producing gas powered engines indefinitely.
• 5:13
  Is there Finally some awakening happening to some that have tried to jump on
• 5:18
  board with this. Absolutely, and it's universal again globally. You've had a
• 5:27
  number of companies, even in the United States, commit to going all electric
• 5:30
  by twenty I think it's thirty five, and the Biden administration was touting that
• 5:34
  out not long ago. Mercedes of course did that again. Europe is before
• 5:40
  the United States. But what you're fighting is they're not moving them off the
• 5:44
  lot. In fact, there is a bunch of used car dealers and car
• 5:47
  dealerships around the country that actually said the letter to Biden recently saying that Nope,
• 5:54
  that's not happening, and taking this big step backwards of them are digging
• 6:00
  their heels in and continuing to try to push them. We were at a
• 6:03
  resolution meeting of the shareholders afford our company actually had shareholders there just to chime
• 6:09
  in and try to keep them from going to woke. But the chairman there
• 6:14
  has actually announced on Thursday they're still committed to it. And I think the
• 6:17
  reason for that is not the sales, not that Americans are accepting them,
• 6:20
  are buying them because they have serious limitations and for a lot of motorists,
• 6:25
  not for everybody. They may prove to be okay for some, but for
• 6:29
  others, you know, the limited range and expensive trying to get one is
• 6:32
  just too much. But I think it all comes down to subsidies. There's
• 6:38
  a lot of money in it, and I think they're making money if they
• 6:42
  stay on the lot in a lot of cases, whether or not they're sold.
• 6:46
  And so long as the subsidies are there, and you know, the
• 6:48
  government finds it a priority to push them, I think these car companies in
• 6:54
  the United States in particular will continue to abide by trying to push them.
• 7:00
  And once the subsidise go, I have a feeling that that's going to be
• 7:02
  it for the electric vehicle as a major use of by American motorists. Craig,
• 7:09
  let's go big picture in the time remaining here. Obviously we're seeing the
• 7:14
  result of ping pong executive orders from presidents that's not practical for any long term
• 7:21
  strategy. Let's assume that Congress somehow miraculously gets a group of senators and congressmen
• 7:30
  in that understand the importance of an energy policy and setting in motion a series
• 7:36
  of laws that protect the energy sector of this country. Is it too late.
• 7:42
  Can we resurrect clean coal? Can we resurrect oil and natural gas in
• 7:47
  this country? Well? In that I guess we could leave people on an
• 7:53
  optimistic note. As we started talking about Germany, Germany's going back to firing
• 7:58
  up its goal fired units. We saw that a few years ago. Even
• 8:01
  in California, which has really been aggressively pushing renewable energy. When blackouts started
• 8:05
  happening, even Tavin Newsom started firing up it's plank, California's remaining plants.
• 8:13
  I think the danger comes in if we got it too much. But at
• 8:16
  the moment, I think we certainly have room to backpedal. And it's been
• 8:20
  encouraging to see even blue states and even what I would call blue countries I
• 8:26
  guess fairly liberal countries are abandoning their efforts once they see that the lights don't
• 8:31
  stay on and the expenses rise, and people start marching in the streets as
• 8:37
  they did in Polland this week, and farmers have been doing, and Brussels
• 8:41
  and then throughout France and Germany. I think when you see that sort of
• 8:46
  pushback coming from the from the people, then I think there it's not too
• 8:50
  late, and I think Congress will respond, but you know, elections have
• 8:56
  consequences. We have two candidates coming up, and one is quite pro energy
• 9:00
  and as a record, in fact, we have first president since Truman that
• 9:03
  we actually had net energy exports going on and the natural gas and oil and
• 9:09
  gas field. So, you know, I think that that's going to be
• 9:13
  up to the people. But we've got to get Congress because otherwise we're just
• 9:16
  back and forth on executive orders. Don't you think we've got to get something
• 9:20
  in law done that cannot be erased by an executive order. I do.
• 9:26
  I agree with that, and I think the biggest thing that they can do
• 9:28
  is just repeal and let the market handle these things. It always has in
• 9:33
  the past quite well. Typically when Congress starts directing things like we want a
• 9:37
  certain number of ds by twenty thirty five, or we're going to produce a
• 9:41
  certain or renewable energy portfolio where this much energy must be made by solar or
• 9:46
  win, that's where we're messing up. When the government kind of just rolls
• 9:50
  those things back and allows you know, the en a free enterprise system to
• 9:54
  do its work. I think that, you know, not that they're going
• 9:58
  to be a trouble free world. But that's a lot better for everybody than
• 10:01
  it is when government actually starts meddling in these things. Thanks Craig for the
• 10:05
  time this morning. I appreciate it very much. Thank you. Thanks for
• 10:09
  being on your program. Appreciate it. Craig Rucker, co founder of Committee
