– They are delighted that America has returned and that the rest of Europe can move away from Russian energy and enable its own economic growth thanks to the safe, reliable and inexpensive energy from the United States – the minister reported.
He noted that the nuclear power plant in Poland will be the first built in Europe, but “the first of many”. He also said that during conversations with representatives of other countries (Wright took part in the peak of the Tri -Miller initiative), many countries expressed interest in buying American gas and that he could become the largest export commodity USA.
– The message that I gave to Europe in my speech is that the release of energy is the way you make your society safer, more wealthy, more free, and this kind of exaggerated climate alarmism does not help our world environment, but it is depleted by people, reduces the safety of your nation and weakens you, said Wright.
– I think it is a permanent message that many of us brought Europe at this table. We want our friends in Europe to be created and take action – he added.
