Rough Transcript:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Morano:<\/strong> It is so refreshing to wake up in an America where you don\u2019t have an unelected bureaucrat the night before deciding to ban wood-fired pizza ovens, gas stoves, ceiling fans, and regulations. Instead, we have an elected leader reversing this nonsense. This was the ultimate virtue-signal: the plastic straw ban. You go back to 2018 when California threatened waiters with $1,000 fines<\/a> if they offered plastic straws. Since then, we know that paper straws take 450 years to recycle, have forever chemicals, and have a higher carbon footprint than plastic straws. There\u2019s no science there for all this virtue signaling to even vaguely support bans. This is something that is popular and scientifically makes sense. Bring back the plastic straws. No one wants that paper crap anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Campos-Duffy:<\/strong> Talk to me about what Donald Trump is doing about the windmills, and how he\u2019s brought Governor Murphy, who\u2019s been, you know, proving all of these wind farms everywhere now he\u2019s been brought to his knees. Tell us about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Morano:<\/strong> Well, this is huge. First of all, we\u2019re talking about plastic. To make one wind turbine, it takes 45 tons of nonrenewable plastic.<\/a> Okay, that\u2019s going to blow away all your plastic straws in restaurants just make a few windmills. What Donald Trump has done here \u2014 this is environmental hero stuff. He\u2019s saving the whales. He\u2019s getting this blight off the landscape. Donald Trump\u2019s first three weeks in office, he is literally wiping out the entire offshore wind industry on the East Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re pulling the funding, they\u2019re pulling the permits, and they\u2019re exposing the fraud that wind power is somehow climate friendly. And even Governor Murphy of New Jersey, a staunch advocate who wanted this because he had to meet climate goals. By the way, climate goals have nothing to do with the climate. They\u2019re promoting an energy source that, combined with solar, aren\u2019t even 4% so this has been a great thing to watch. Get these eyesores out, both the left and right on the East Coast, I was in a protest with San Francisco liberals and East Coast liberals, along with conservatives and commercial fishermen and they don\u2019t want these things. They\u2019re washing up debris on the beach. They want offshore wind gone. They\u2019re harming whales. More endangered whales are allowed to be killed by windmills than there are known known numbers of them in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offshore wind is going to have to be decommissioned, and you\u2019re going to have to do another project to remove them from the oceans. That\u2019s going to be a whole expensive project in itself, but I\u2019d much rather spend the money on that than putting more of this boondoggle of wind out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
