FROM FOX NEWS: An American energy leader is warning that several progressive “green” environmental groups opposing President Donald Trump’s nuclear energy plans are linked to a “web of dark money” groups with ties to former President Barack Obama and other Democrats.
Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, warned during an interview with Fox News Digital that while claiming to stand for the planet, these groups “have prioritized ideology over innovation” and are “driven by green activists and groups deeply tied to the Democratic Party.”
Isaac’s comments follow Trump’s signing of several executive orders in May to “usher in a nuclear renaissance” by cutting red tape to accelerate advancements in nuclear technologies. In one of the orders, Trump said that “abundant energy is a vital national- and economic-security interest” and “in conjunction with domestic fossil fuel production, nuclear energy can liberate America from dependence on geopolitical rivals.”
Isaac said, “You follow the money, you’ll see where it leads. It leads straight to partisan mega-donors, foreign interests, and failed climate crusaders. This isn’t about the environment. It’s about political control over America’s energy future and our energy dominance.”
