How the Green Tech Industry Is Empowering Communist China: Steve Milloy

“The greener we get, the more dependent we are on China, and they’re taking advantage of it. That is part, I think, of their 100-Year Plan. They don’t want to go to war with anyone, they’re just going to own our economy.”

What has been the result of the West’s current energy and climate policies? Has our planet become cleaner? Or greener? Or have our economies weakened, and our products cheapened?

“China is burning fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow. And the Biden administration is doing everything it can to reduce fossil fuel use in the United States,” says Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute. “You have this European climate movement, which has been funded by Putin to block Europe from producing its own energy. The other side knows what the West’s weaknesses are, and they fund them—and much to our detriment.”

He argues that the Biden administration is putting independent oil companies out of business, and that contrary to reducing carbon emissions, the West has merely exported them to hostile actors.

“Exxon Mobil and Chevron ... last year they announced $110-billion worth of purchases of smaller companies who have been weakened by Biden policies,” says Mr. Milloy.
