Dustin Gawrylow, President, North Dakota Watchdog Network talks about the local politics and how the state is shaped politically. Controlled by Republicans, Gawrylow explains about how there are factions, i.e. RINOs, within the ND GOP, and how the in-party fighting is creating more problems than solutions in the oil and gas industry.
Gawrylow explains how taxpayers are now going to be asked to not only prop up coal, but also pay for the transition into energy sources that will make coal obsolete.
He also opines about how apparently, Governor Doug Burgum has his own Green New Deal. Gawrylow also recaps how his fighting against Cap and Trade back in the day has brought him almost full circle in some regards.
The two also talk about media ethics, subsidy responsibility and how the light switch has replaced the petroleum industry in the same way the grocery store replaced the farmer.
