The simple solution to the ‘Californication’ of American energy policy
Fox News
President-elect Trump and California Gov. Newsom are polar opposites on power production: Trump represents a mindset of energy abundance while Newsom represents one of energy scarcity.
Brian Morgenstern is the head of public policy for Riot Platforms. He is on the board of the Texas Blockchain Council and the executive committee of the Chamber of Digital Commerce. He served as deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department in the Trump administration.
But in addition to boosting natural gas, Trump wants to usher in a nuclear renaissance by building new nuclear energy power plants across the country. His all-of-the above approach to power generation stands in stark contrast to Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose "climate-friendly" policies in California have gouged citizens and created one of the most unreliable grids in the United States.
