The best way to keep us poor and desperate is to limit our energy
China knows that. China Joe knows too.
And next - take away OUR 1st and 2nd Amendment (for All; any background, any party) . . . we'll be SLAVES.
How to control the people is to control the energy- Some Tyrant
Nice to know every morning when I get out of bed that I/WE are a little bit MORE POOR!
Imagine being alive, and suddenly.. no more energy. No more gas. No more oil. No more coal. It’s all run out. That would be anarchy? Terrifying? Horrible? Just imagine.. So probably best to do as your told? Right? Because otherwise….
Quite possibly one of the best common sense senators we have.
It would be nice to see him get mad once in a blue moon. 😂
@@barbarab1448 I think he's so effective because he seems so calm. It's totally different from someone like AOC ot Matt Gaetz.
Just about every politician out of LA is corrupt to the core, John Kennedy is absolutely no different. Most of his campaign funding came from energy and real estate lobbyist.
@Marc Pecora you think AOC is effective? Holy crap.
Why hasn't anybody been held accountable for what's happening at the border? Why hasn't biden been impeached. He's not safeguarding or country that's and act of treason.
Sen. Kennedy is a national treasure.
More like a national disgrace.
@@williamg8269 your the very small majority that feel that way willy!
@@williamg8269 the national disgrace is currently what's in the White House and all the people he has put in place. It truly is a "National Disgrace" I feel pity for souls like you.
@MrDjohn24 Maybe a small majority in the uneducated racist south. Probably because I'm educated and not racist.
hahahahahahaha you are a funny guy
I am not American, but I have a question. Why didn't you elect this guy as president??? He seems to be very honest man.
He didn't run. And to tell the truth, I like him where he is. He's like a firewall in the Senate. But I do agree that he'd be a good one.
That's the problem "he's a very honest man" 😅 totally unfit for the office of pres
@A SM we did have one a couple years ago. People just didn't like hearing it.
U know what happened to the last john Kennedy who was president?? The last one was too honest and said too much. Bang!
@@zaccrist8840 And killed by a communist/socialist.
I love john Kennedy. He's one in a billion. He's so authentic, genuine, intelligent and fair. I'd be hard pressed to keep a level head and my emotions in check while doing what he does.
He is so well thought, and well spoken. He is so down to earth amd funny!
Mr. Haney.
Pushing everything towards electric is all about one thing - CONTROL.
and investment returns for politicians...
Same crap just a different name! WAS CALL GLOBAL WARNING IN THE 90'S! NOW IT CLIMATE CHANGE! All about stupid people who know nothing about science or the earth! But they need someone to hold their hand while they pee!
Why is our world filled with dozens of powerful villains and wealthy evil people... yet there's no powerful heroes or wealthy good people???
It's like we're stuck on Earth with our own version of Lex Luthor, The Kingpin and The Joker... and our only moments of joy is when one of the evil bad guys cripple one of the other evil bad guys.
I’m not trying to defend electric cars but oil is about control as well you can’t deny that
Press on, Senator, you are a precious addition to our Nation.
"GEO-ENGINEERING" 😳... Did anyone else hear that?
On most issues.
@@avertactivity964 forrest management do wonders.
Mr Kennedy Is really on top of the issues…I believe
I hail from WA state. I am embarrassed that we send Patty Murray to the senate. I want to say to Lousiana, I have "senator envy". I wish we had clear, no BS senators from our state like Senator Kennedy. You guys have set a high standard for the rest of the nation to follow.
I always pray for my conservative brothers and sisters living in liberal states.
@@markallen4001 Thank you for your prayers. No matter how small it may seem, it means alot
He's talking to people who are purposely trying to destroy our energy sector.
intentional sabotage
The Mark Twain of our times! His wit and candor are amazing!
You sho got that rite
I believe he’s on a genius level with his arguments.
I love Sen Kennedy, I just wish more would be gutsy enough to agree with him.
Hes just a good olboy that tells it like he sees it wish we had more like Mr Kennedy in office .Thank you Rock on.
Compare him to fast-talking Schumer. Which one would you trust to buy a used car from or actually buy anything from?
If a nuclear plant can run an aircraft carrier, it could power a small city.
So true. But there are too many who protest the use of nuclear plants. They only see the possibility of a nuclear accident.
Small town I live in 50miles from next town population less than 1000-aircraft carrier has a population of over 5000. Small reactor could power several towns up here in NWO.
Rolls Royce UK are developing SMR reactors for City use
What's funny is that for humanitarian missions that require energy, We , the US, will send an aircraft carrier or 2 to that country to provide power, food, and medical aid. Our carriers make more than enough power to supply a small city with it's basic energy needs.
even underwater in our submarines! The US is slowly developing SMRs, X-Energy is one of the private companies doing so but unfortunately the quest for these reactors' fuel begs for federal funding. First customers will be industrial (~ 85 MW) then utility scale.
Senator Kennedy is one of these most articulated and pragmatic people serving in the US Congress. He doesn't mince words, shoots straight from the hip, and always offers a great anecdotal response. He would be the ideal person to replace that pathetic rino sellout and traitor, Mitch McConnell, as the GOP Senate Leader. Every American, who is represented by a GOP US Senator, has the duty and responsibility to contact their office, demanding they support John Kennedy to replace McConnell as Senate Minority Leader.
He is a treasure
Just FYI, "shoot(s) straight' and "shooting from the hip" are different phrases. Sen. Kennedy does shoot straight, but coming prepared with posters is not indicative of shooting from the hip.
Mr Kennedy a real one! God bless
I could listen to this man for hours.
Nuclear needs 1/450th the area of solar to produce the same amount of power.
We don't have to plow thousands of acres of fragile desert as solar requires.
And it will produce it night and day regardless of the weather!
Putting a solar power farm in the desert will only power those that live within 300 miles of the farm. No matter how large it is. You could pave over the entire Mojave desert with solar panels, and still only power places within 300 miles.
You know those houses we have everywhere? No plowing needed.
@@1014p and as soon as a hail storm comes by, your panels are broken and unrecyclable, leading to you having to replace expensive panels while simultaneously contributing to a future ecological disaster that is going to make coal slurry look like a milkshake.
Also, enjoy weekly climbs onto your roof to clean the panels so they continue to work.
Enjoy forcing African children to work in toxic mines, shortening their lives, so you can virtue signal with your panels.
Enjoy the enslaved Chinese labor that manufacturers your panel as your favorite political party did everything they could to make producing the panels in the US impossible. Probably because the process releases nitrogen trifluoride, a greenhouse gas 1700 times worse than carbon dioxide.
Continue to virtue signal about your panels, while they contribute more to the greenhouse effect and toxic metal contamination in ground water than coal does.
I award you 1,000 Internet points for being more virtuous than smart
@@HellsYeah8 There are massive solar fields ( wind farms too) near Milford, Utah out in the desert. All the electricity goes to California. There is not benefit for the locals.
@@TJSquatchy-QueenoftheSasquatch strangely, the maximum transmission distance of electricity is 300 miles. While it might not be directly used locally, it's not going to California. This is science.
Think about it. If transmission loss want a thing, electrical production would not need to as spread out as it is. The would be no federally supported monopolies in electrical utilities, as 8 massive electrical production facilities would be enough to both produce and protect energy production for the entire nation, plus Canada.
I hope the young people hearing the wise words and thoughts of this learned man appreciate the wisdom he imparts every time he speaks. I know I do. ❤
When ever I see John Kennedy on youtube, I will click on the page to hear what he has to say. It is always enlightening and entertaining. His words are like an academic scholar, but he sounds like a good ole boy. John Kennedy for President.
Could listen to this man Debate for hours!
His voice is like honey to the ears and I’m a grown ass man😂.
I don't disagree with what he's saying so much but he talks too slow and I'm really really really pro nuke.
I absolutely love Sen. Kennedy
.
Senator Kennedy SHOW their public statements and hypocrisy...!!!
HE IS 100% CLEAR & SO SMART.
This man is a finely tuned combination of facts, logic, razor sharp wit, and a double barreled 12 gauge shotgun loaded with high-brass dear slugs.
I get the feeling his brass is a bit bigger than a 12 gauge, don't know him well. But I have a firm belief that he'll kick like a 10 gauge if you set him off.
Kennedy is a great leader, I wish he was my dad. Keep up the great work
It is almost impossible to be both direct and gracious when you deeply disagree with the person or people you are addressing. I would like to be as gracious and direct as Senator Kennedy.
Sen. Kennedy florida loves you.I wish there we're more men like you.🙏
Is this senator the only one who knows how to ask questions and has common sense? Hell I’m a dem but he’s cross the party lines a smart guy, very respectable.
None of my vehicle to run on committee hearings or proposals. All of my vehicles run on fossil fuels only!
Mine runs on unicorn farts.
Yes, even the most avid nuclear power fans don't believe in cutting all fossil fuels out of the picture entirely. Running most of the electrical grid on it would be good enough.
@@FaceD0wnDagon You can cut fossil fuels out of electrical generation and replace it with nuclear, that way you free up fossil fuels for transportation where nuclear is not practical.
@@erikkovacs3097 I agree! Or at least, you can drastically reduce fossil fuels in electrical generation - there might be some cases of remote locations where fossil fuels are still needed, IDK.
Could you imagine him running for President. He would be the best in years.
Senator Cruz you are a one number one American you are a true patriot I love watching you at work you are dedicated to the American people we thank you 🇺🇸🙏✌️☮️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The most common sense man we have. Think about what he says! Love you respect you John Kennedy! Thank you sir.
This man speaks the words out of my head. Use every energy source. So you do not over use any of them.
Let's go Brandon his whole administration sucks if you had a thousand years you couldn't make any sense out of them and the way they screw up things
joe and his ilk are doing what appears to be stupid at the bidding of those that want to rule us in a brilliantly disguised take over
Just out of curiosity, why? Why is he the worst Dictator the world has ever seen?
This distinguished Senator and southern Gentleman
is one of the few statesmen that our finding fathers would be proud of.
No matter what party you support Sen John Kennedy will be honest and fair to all.
❤️🇺🇸🕊🇺🇸❤️
He is the best senator out there. Time for things to change.
These people are insane. What climate (weather) do they want worldwide?
It's not about climate.
It's about depopulation.
Abortion isn't about women.
It's about depopulation.
Feminism isn't about women.
It's about depopulation.
The LGBTQ+ movement isn't about love.
It's about depopulation.
It's an anti-human death-cult.
They view humanity as a cancer on the earth that needs to be eliminated.
All of their policies and beliefs result in the diminishing of human reproduction.
They want communism, total control.
probably like cali, always 95+ out or raining
The demonrats want the climate that keeps them in control & getting richer by the day. demons all.
@@Halo3Matalix No, always sunny and 72 that's the utopia they envision 😏.
Let's see an overlay of money going to energy sectors vs energy sector campaign contributions to a certain party.
A great man of great wisdom. Utilizing all energy is key.
We Need More of
Senator John Kennedy
The advancements in Nuclear power is amazing...
There are ready to go bus sized reactors fail proof. That will power each city individually. Sub 1 million dollars.
I love how the majority of the time when he speaks he doesn't attack Democrats he attacks bad policy
Same thing really
I just love John Kennedy, love what he stands for
He would be a good judge. Because he cares about our country. Much respect
That man is AWESOME .
If Senator Kennedy ran for President, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to vote for him.
Senator Kennedy seems to be one of the rare one's in DC, that actually still *has common sense*
Love this man! I have always said that.....'it is your actions that count, not your words.'
"Free will and responsibility" is a core conservative value.
Thank God for men like Senator Kennedy! His down-home wisdom is so great to hear!
It probably went over most peoples heads when he mentioned the Capacity Factor (CF) of nuclear. CF is the percentage of time a generating station is online and producing electricity. Many nuclear units have a CF in the mid ninetieth percentile (93-96%). Nuclear units come on line and generate 24/7 for months and months and in many cases, year after year. I think the world record continuous run for a nuclear unit was over 900 days before they came off line for refueling and maintenance. By contrast, solar power has a CF of 18-25% and wind has a CF in the 40% range. Coal and gas CF are in the 60-80% range.
What this means is that to replace a 1000 megawatt nuclear unit, you would have to install about 5000 megawatts of solar (and that is assuming utility scale storage is feasible).
Bottom line, solar and wind have their place in the nation's generation portfolio, but trying to rely exclusively on them is akin to running a Shetland Pony in the Kentucky Derby - it just isn't up to the task.

If that belief and course of action had been honestly implemented since the end of WW2,,,we would not be where we presently are today.Loved my time in Louisiana,we needed
more men like him all along the span of history, but rarely does politics build up an already weak
character, Louisiana is lucky to have him as they face their future
Mr. KENNEDY IS A GREAT SENATE.GOD BLESS A GREAT MAN.
The balanced approach to energy he depicted is spot-on 🎯🎯🎯
Love this guy!
No different than parents speaking at school administrators. Sure they know its wrong, sure they know their lies were uncovered, but they dont care, nothing will change by speaking to them. Words are weak to the criminal.
Senator Kennedy is absolutely awesome, wish he represented Virginia
Where you spend your money shows what you believe. I try to only buy American. Its difficult and more expensive but its been a very rewarding and enriching effort. When I can't buy American (US motorcycle gear basically doesn't exist) i make sure I don't buy from countries that I don't agree with. Aside from being happier with what I own i have found American companies will be more willing to help if anything breaks or goes wrong. Just figured I'd share something that has made my life more fulfilling and maybe someone else might start to do the same. Have a nice day 👍
Kennedy you are awesome, love your work - calling people out on BS
Thank you Senator Kennedy for all you do. You have us in your best interest. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He is one of the best sentors we have
He is Awesome
Thank the Lord for Sen. Kennedy!
spot on
god i love kennedy, does his research and hits em with questions they're like "idk how to help you, uh, boss?" "you are the boss" "oh uhhh... we... like.. inclusion"
What you do is what you believe. That’s a very Hebraic (Scriptural) concept. Like the Apostle James said “show me your faith without works, and I’ll show you my faith by my works.” Very true, very humbling. Like the representative said, self-responsibility and free will.
God love ya 😂Johnny tell it straight up like it is God bless you brother 🙏
this guy....love how he just dangles the obvious contradiction out there for them to marinate in for a while....
Told as a kid in elementary school that all the trees and plants around us thrive off the Co2 we exhale. Told as an adult carbon = death of the planet. Told as a kid we’re heading into an ice age, then we should be concerned about acid rain, then as a teen about global warming, and now more recently, these same people realize their grift didn’t align with the bitter cold winters we’ve all been experiencing so now it’s “climate change”. It’d be a concern if the earth DIDN’T go through such climate cycles. Any simpleton can put two and two together and realize the earth’s been going through drastic changes long before we were even a thought in the universe. Might we be contributing slightly, perhaps, but there’s no way in hell we’ll ever “control” Mother Nature. That’s human arrogance at the utmost extreme.
It’s human ignorance in the extreme you suffer from. We have known about the green house effect for over a hundred years, and we have known that plants require co2 even now. But we are simultaneously cutting down trees while pumping out more co2 than has ever existed in humanity’s existence.
gubmint not interested in providing cheap abundunt energy.........they like very expensive and very scarce energy......so get used to that........
100% right on Nuclear.
This guy should be your president.
Norway
I love this man.
God love Mr Kennedy,he kicks serious butt !
Thank you Senator, nuclear is extremely rewarding if implemented properly, this is great progress for a more climate friendly America 🇺🇸 ❤️
We need a guy like him in Canada!
Because they ALWAYS DO the OPPOSITE of what they SAY!! What do they tell their own children about the future THEY can expect?!! wow...
I wish nuclear wasn't constantly shoved to the wayside because of it's bad reputation. Yes, people died in horrific ways thanks to it. Compared to every single other form of energy production, it is still nearly the safest, only barely beaten by wind energy. If you campaign against nuclear, just know that we'll need to get the energy from something else then, and pretty much everything else is less clean and kills more people compared to the energy output, or it has other weaknesses. Coal kills over 1100 times more people for the same energy, yet nobody knows coal power plants as something that's particularly dangerous.
In the USA, with USA designed and constructed reactors, you will not find a higher safety record in any other energy producing industry.
Yeah I hate how they act when everyone knows the obvious answer. It’s the reason why I don’t take climate activists and dumb alternative energy ideas seriously
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) for president!
Crazy that with the need for energy, we ignore nuclear energy. Modern reactors have come so far, and its never even considered....
"What you do is what you believe and all the rest is just cottage cheese" Love it 😆
True
Thank you Senator Kennedy - another gotcha !
Can't write an ipo on nuclear that'll never happen
There are 103 nuke plants in the US and no one has ever been injured from any of them.
I nuked some Mac and cheese earlier
As Mark Levin would say..."Department of no Energy", "Department of no Justice"...all federal political agencies...
Thank goodness for John Kennedy wish we had him in the UK.
Can you imagine a debate between Kennedy and Biden? Biden would have to walk out. This guy actually studies and researches every issue he discusses. We have an idiot in the White House who doesn't even know where he is..
So true....
Notice how he shakes his head "no" while stating what he says he believes in. LOL :)
Lol. No he doesn’t
@@rishg134 The first head shakes start at 2:04 and continues as he describes the types of energy he "supports". Maybe you should try watching it again? Clearly, you've missed it, as did the other oblivious people that liked your comment. LOL :)
What a guy! Nails em right between the running lights.
Don't Judge a book by it's cover you may discover their smart enough than what you thought. Perhaps even to run a country with their own team.
I wish Kennedy would think things through before giving speeches, like maybe the significance of the passage of time eloquence the Vice President Opined about, something deep like that would add so much to the discourse...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wonder what 'word salad' the VP has for us today 🤔
John Kennedy...is Quite the Standout.....1,000 %
Agreed 👍👍👍👍
The green energy discussion either starts and ends with nuclear or it’s completely invalid. It’s that simple folks
100% correct. If you reject nuclear you're left with zero solutions.
Love this guy.
Thank you Sen. John Kennedy
Agreed!
THANK YOU SIR
For Holding Their Feet To The Fire
Great question be wondering the same thing
