Because if you want to open Pebble Mine in Alaska, which is a huge copper deposit, or Twin Metals in Minnesota, another huge copper deposit, well, if you have copper mines that are run by nine-year-old girls and slave labor, right, you're making really good margins. Do I want to compete? Do I want to lower the price of copper worldwide as a commodity? Hell no.

So it's easiest to fund green groups to scare the crap out of people about climate change when all you're doing is just protecting your overseas investment. Tom Steyer, who ran for president on this platform, we're going to stop fossil fuels, is one of the largest investors in overseas mining.

Exactly. It's such a great point. We've done a number of congressional studies, studies for Congress that we bring to legislators that I knock on doors and try to get them to pay attention. China controls 95% of the rare earth and metals and minerals industry worldwide. Now, they operate in Chile, they operate in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they are mines owned and operated by the communist Chinese.

And so we say, let's be green, let's build solar panels. Well, the solar panels are made in communist China with those raw materials, and somehow that's considered green.

Well, BP made a big announcement yesterday that they were investing less of their resources into renewables, and they were doubling down on BP Petroleum. They were going back to drilling. And of course they are, because the renewables, as soon as the money dries up, the subsidies from the government, the renewables are absolutely valueless. They don't work. They're terribly expensive.
