Senator Dave McCormick was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about President Trump’s policies that have led to US energy dominance.
“Senator, you have been working on a bill on permitting,” Bartiromo commented.
“The President put several executive orders in place to cut down regulations, make it easier for the oil companies to drill, baby drill,” Bartiromo said.
“What do you want to say about this bill and the likelihood that in fact it does get these things codified?” Bartiromo asked.
“There is an energy dominance, you know, a moment of abundance happening in America based on what President Trump has done,” McCormick commented.
Senator McCormick explained that President Trump’s policies have made the US a net energy exporter. He cited an example: a plant converting from coal to a gas-fired plant will be able to generate a massive amount of energy to help meet demand.
“I just saw over the last couple of days. I went to Homer City. They are in the process of transitioning a coal fire plant to a gas fire plant that will create 4.5 gigawatts. The biggest project in the country today. That’s one percent of all of America’s energy demand,” McCormick explained.
“We are becoming a huge net energy exporter, and you can’t say AI without saying energy dominance too. So, this is incredible for the people of Pennsylvania, it’s incredible for America,” McCormick commented.
“The President’s agenda has to be solidified, and we need permitting reform to do that. It takes about six years to get an energy project permit. It took three and a half years to win World War II,” McCormick continued.
The Senator explained that his bill will help put energy permitting on the fast track for energy companies.
“We can do a lot better than this, so my bill essentially restricts the amount of time for review to about a year. Ensures that once decisions are made, they are final, and regulators have to give justification if they turn down a project,” McCormick explained.
“If we can do these things, we are gonna unleash 1.5 trillion dollars of capital into our economy. It’s not just energy policy, it’s economic policy,” McCormick continued.
“It sure is, and national security policy I would say as well,” Bartiromo commented.
