Develop our domestic energy resources.
Idiocy. Our domestic energy resources are already well developed. Electric utilities own almost 3200 electrical generating plants in this country. Coal and nuclear make up 260 of those. Around 2100 are fueled by natural gas, hydro-electric, renewable energy, or other domestic energy sources. The administration is propping up failing power plants rather than letting the market take its course and letting them sink or swim.
The Obama administration was shutting down coal plants.

That’s DECEPTIVE. Coal and ESPECIALLY nuclear plants are much larger than natural gas plants, and they make up 50 PERCENT of our power generation today. It would not be very smart to simply trash them, as Obama was trying to do.

Not necessarily so.
Many perfectly viable power plants were seriously hurt by Obama Era regulations specifically intended to shut them for political reasons.
After eight years of Obama mandated economic siege many of these plants have been left on shaky economic ground and are in danger of going bankrupt through no fault of their own
