$50 Trillion For What? Kennedy Dumbfounds Biden Climate Peddler In Fiery Exchange Over 'Carbon Neutrality'

BY TYLER DURDEN

Biden Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk highlighted the absurdity of the climate grift this week during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) couldn't get a straight answer out of him over the cost of going 'carbon neutral.'

In a tense exchange, Kennedy repeatedly attempted to get Turk to give a straightforward answer to just how much American taxpayers will have to pay to achieve the Biden administration's goal of reaching US carbon neutrality by 2050.

When Kennedy asked whether some of the "experts" Turk referred to earlier were correct in a $50 trillion estimate, Turk nodded his head, and said "It's gonna cost trillions of dollars, there's no doubt about it."

"If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?" Kennedy replied. The conversation continued:

Turk: “So, every country around the world needs to get its act together. Our emissions are about 13% of global emissions right now…”

Kennedy: “Yeah, but if you could answer my question. If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral in the U.S. by 2050, you're the Deputy Secretary of Energy, give me your estimate of how much that is going to reduce world temperatures.”

Turk: “So, first of all, it's a net cost. It's what, um, benefits we're having from getting our act together and reducing all of those costs and climate benefits…”

Kennedy: “Let me ask you. Maybe I'm not being clear. If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?”

Turk: “This is a global problem, so we need to reduce our emissions and we need to do everything to, uh…”

Kennedy: “How much of we do our part is it going to reduce global temperatures?”

Turk: “So, we're 13% of global emissions…”

Kennedy: “You don't know, do you? You don't know, do you?”

A fully flabbergasted Turk then says "In my heart of hearts, (turk says)there is no way the world gets it's act together on climate change unless the U.S. leads."

The commie regime knows 50 trillion will bankrupt us if we are even still around by then.Yet they don't have a clue what it will actually cost,they don't care,they just keep printing money.

The guy cant answer the question.
Like most of the rest of the obama/brandon adm. the whole thing is a scam to destroy the country financially and every which way so the commies can take over and turn the nation into a commie hell-hole.
I say we don't let it happen!!
