INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Diana Furchtgott-Roth.
The case against Biden’s new energy plan will have a negative impact on the economy both in the US and among its allies. The sale of natural gas to Europe is a major source of revenue for the United States, and that suspending the sale of natural gas will cost jobs and hurt the economy. They also argue that the decision will make Europe more reliant on China’s coal, since Russia has suspended the sale of natural gas to Europe. All this provides international security and environmental dangers.
The Biden administration has said that it is committed to working with Europe to find alternative sources of energy, and that it will not leave Europe in the lurch. However, it is unclear what these alternative sources of energy will be, and how long it will take to develop them.
