Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director, Power The Future (PTF) joins Jason Spiess to talk about Nord Stream 2, Russia and the Ukraine.
“After the Biden Administration consistently got it wrong on Nord Stream 2, it’s truly unfortunate that it took Germany to stop the process from moving forward. America can and must do better than leading from behind. But we must also remember why Germany relies on Russia for more than half of its annual consumption of natural gas and sends $15 billion dollars each year to the Kremlin. Their unwise and hasty transition away from traditional forms of energy and onto renewables left Germany at the mercy of their geopolitical foes. It’s a fate America must avoid, and that happens by standing up to the green movement driving the Biden Administration and the political left and re-gaining our energy independence. Otherwise, America too could end up dependent on Russian oil.”
The two also discussed the evolution of “the religion of the environment” and “the cult of the environment”, citing many anthropological and societal similarities and examples.
Daniel dives into the ESG (Environmental Social Governance) movement and all the potential pitfalls he sees for the oil and gas industry.
For nearly 20 years he has worked in communications and public affairs for several non-profits and various campaigns including in his home district (NY-9) for his Uncle Bob Turner’s successful and historic house race.
