Gov. Justice took time out of his remarks on COVID-19 to review President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address last evening. “President Biden, I thought, did a pretty decent job in his delivery, but the substance was not very good,” Gov. Justice said. “I wish President Biden would have come out and said our nation needs to be energy independent. “I’ve said it over and over, if you go back through all the civilizations of time, civilization only progresses with cheap, abundant energy,” Gov. Justice continued. “Energy drives the day. That’s all there is to it. We were on our way to being energy independent under President Trump. “Our nation has the spotlight of the world on us. We’ve got to be energy independent. If President Biden would have come out and said, considering what’s on the table, we’re going to open this thing up, we’re going to build Keystone and all of our pipelines here, we’re going to open up drilling, you would have stopped this war right in its tracks.” |
