Rep. McBride STUNS Energy Sec. With One Question He Couldn't Answer

In a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, Representative Sarah McBride confronts Energy Secretary Chris Wright with a claim the President made on the world stage — and a department that never bothered to check if it was true. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Trump told global leaders that China doesn't use wind turbines — and used that claim to justify dismantling American clean energy incentives. When McBride asks Wright whether anyone in the Department of Energy verified that statement, his answer is three words: we never looked. What follows is five minutes that expose a deeper contradiction. Wright positions himself as a neutral technocrat — no technology he loves, no technology he hates, just math. But when McBride raises fossil fuel subsidies that have existed in the federal tax code since 1926, Wright claims he doesn't know what she's talking about. The same administration that pulled hundreds of clean energy projects and eliminated the incentives allowing American manufacturers to compete globally — says it doesn't want to cede the wind market to China. McBride asks the question that deserves an answer: if you're handing this market to Beijing, who exactly is winning?
