Maria, you\u2019re trading one dictatorship for another. Because at the core of the [renewable] energy industry is China producing the batteries, the wind turbines, the solar panels, and all of the raw materials that it takes to have a green economy. China is the OPEC of green. It has cornered the market and is the OPEC of the renewable industry. Again, you\u2019re trading Russia for Iran, for China, all dependency models.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s edition of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cMaria Bartiromo\u2019s Wall Street,\u201d Rep.
