It's national security but the president also just hates offshore windpower, so it's complicated
Burgum: "The wind energy only works when the wind is blowing. And at times when we've needed it the most along the east coast during the coldest days and hottest days, we've had 2% of the entire grid being powered by wind. You still need all the rest of the power."

Healthcare insurance sure was cheap in the good old days before Obamacare ... when insurance companies could deny coverage to those who needed healthcare. James Lankford
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.

HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition

LANKFORD: That's true.
