So what was good for that administration is being voiced it on us. But having gone from, I think,

low-level sanctions to mid-levellevel that if any officials in the Russian Federation

are watching this confirmation hearing, they should know that if I'm confirmed and if President

Trump requests and as part of his strategy to end the Ukraine war, that I will be 100% on board for taking

sanctions up, especially on the Russian oil majors, to levels that would bring the Russian Federation

to the table.

Before you reduce carbon, the bigger your tax savings.

Now there is a big effort in the Trump administration to reverse it.

I think that's going to be bad for the economy, but it is going to be damn good for China

because we are in an arms race and clean energy with them.

Are you going to be on the side of people who want to unravel this?

China will build 10 nuclear plants this year. That is not solar.
