Joe Manchin (D-WV) stated, \u201cYou cannot be the superpower of the world if you have to depend on other nations to produce your energy\u201d and that he\u2019s in a different spot than his party and President Joe Biden because \u201cthey have a hard time coming to grips that you\u2019ve got to use everything you\u2019ve got\u201d or else you \u201cend up like Germany did\u201d and \u201cin one heck of a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin discussed [relevant remarks begin around 3:10] vows to defend NATO allies and working with allies, and stated, \u201cThat\u2019s all good. But\u2026we have to have energy independen[ce]. You cannot be the superpower of the world if you have to depend on other nations to produce your energy. And I\u2019m just in a different place than my caucus or the colleagues or the president and they have a hard time coming to grips that you\u2019ve got to use everything you\u2019ve got. You\u2019ve got to use your gas, you\u2019ve got to use your coal, you\u2019ve got to use your oil, and you have to develop wind and solar and hydro and geothermal and hydrogen. All of these things I\u2019m for. But I\u2019m not going to leave us in a void, Larry, I\u2019m just not going to basically go down that path and end up like Germany did, trying to get something \u2014 rid of something that you don\u2019t think you like because you think something else will replace it. And then, when you get to that time period, it doesn\u2019t replace it, so you\u2019re in one heck of a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He later added, \u201c[I]f you want to do something with an all-in energy policy that does not leave us in a void, then do something that basically uses all of the above, and with the new technology, but basically not leave your fossils out of the mix. Because that\u2019s the horsepower you need to run the superpower of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cKudlow,\u201d Sen.
