Presidential candidate Nikki Haley recently got on record about American energy issues. She said that the Biden administration is "demonizing" energy producers, and that the United States needs to have an all-of-the-above approach to energy production.
Why doesn't she mention nuclear energy? Maybe the article is too short. But in kissing the rings of oil producers, she isn't showing much of a commitment to alternate energy sources, i.e., renewables.
" “They’re picking what kind of energy they think is best for Americans,” Haley said as she lambasted the EPA’s timeline for power companies to shift away from fossil fuels.
“Do we want renewables? Sure we do, but we want to make sure we have every other type of energy possible,” she added."
and
"Haley has previously said she would “roll back Biden’s wasteful green energy subsidies and regulations” but in this appearance she focused more on the energy producers seated next to her onstage and the impact new EPA rules could have on their customers."See, that's shortsighted. The approach of all-of-the-above, which I indeed advocate (more nuclear, with modular reactors) needs to also be a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels, which she doesn't appear to be pushing for with much vigor.
