HARRIS FAULKNER (FOX ANCHOR): I read recently, and please correct me if I'm wrong, aren't other countries taking a look at some of these so-called green energy commitments? I read that the Netherlands are taking a look at what they are doing. Why is that? What's happening?
PHIL FLYNN (FOX CONTRIBUTOR): Because they realize it isn't working because it is causing tremendous economic pain. And it's also creating global instability. Because this green energy movement with the short sighted thoughts really lead to the war in Ukraine. One of the best tools that Vladimir Putin's been using against Ukraine and Europe and the world was his energy weapon, right? And the only reason he could do that is because of the switch away to green energy. Shutting down pipelines, closing production and instead building windmills. It just doesn't add up and that's what we're starting to see.
FAULKNER: Well, and when I've seen those windmills, many of them are still running on fossil fuel support. So, you're going to pay for gas to get your windmill to run to give you the energy, oh boy.
