John Shimkus: “Now we have evolved, and this green movement, which I would argue would bring high-cost electricity in.”

It is our responsibility as policymakers to closely examine the costs, the effectiveness, and other impacts of the environmental policies that affect energy.

There have been some people, a Senator friend of mine, who says the next energy revolution would not come from a mine. And I would beg to argue in that all of these precious minerals in that are coming from a mine.

I would hope in our discussions we would work with the majority to try to make sure we somehow incentivize nuclear baseload because of zero-carbon emissions.

I think nuclear power is a huge piece of the puzzle, if you will.
