National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said in an interview aired on Oct. 25 that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s plan to transition the United States from fossil fuels is practically impossible to implement.

“In 15 years? Renewables are less than 10 percent of our total energy. And you’re not going to remake that in 15 years,” Kudlow said on WABC 770. “Pricing is not favorable. Natural gas is very cheap.”
