MeidasTouch gets a little over the top sometimes..OK a lot of times – but they does consistently bring up important topics that the mainstream media is not adequately covering.
This video has an opening rant that you can skip over, and go to the interview about 3 minutes in – Jay Inslee, former Governor of Washington, and a keen advocate for clean energy. Everyone who is working in the energy space should understand what Inslee is saying here.
Important messages:
“When people think if clean energy, you know, they think of nuclear scientists, or photovoltaic engineers.
These are blue collar jobs.
These are skilled jobs in making these turbines, manufacturing, construction jobs, putting them up, maintaining them, these are high tech manufacturing.
These are the jobs we want our kids to have if they don’t want to spend 400,000 dollars going to college. It’s exactly what we’ve all been talking about -how to create the new jobs for the working families.”

“Trump ran on reducing inflation.
He ran on reducing the cost of energy.
He is going to give us the most expensive energy in the history of the United States – by taking away, snatching from Americans, the cheapest energy now available, which isn’t coal.”
“Coal is more expensive in 92 percent of the districts in America. Solar, Wind, Battery Technology, efficiency , these systems are cheaper. And those fossil fuels are going to get more expensive, as demand ramps up for electricity. Demand is going to ramp up because of the oncoming AI and Crypto needs of these data farms. As demand ramps up, Americans are going to face a Price Shock – it’s the elimination of what Trump said he wanted to do.”
