From video segment #1:

1. In his address to the UN on Tuesday, President Trump discussed Western countries' use of renewable energy compared to traditional energy (fossil fuels: coal, oil, gas) and nuclear energy. What are renewables?

2. The president called renewables a joke. For what reasons does he think so - why does he say these energy sources (addressing the problems with wind power) should not replace most/all traditional energy?

3. The most widely used renewable is wind energy. What did the president point out about China, windmills (wind turbines) and its energy sources?

4. What effect did the implementation of a green energy agenda have on the many European countries that use it, according to President Trump?

5. For what reason did the president commend Germany's decisions on energy sources?

8. President Trump warns leaders their countries will fail if they don't do 2 things. What are they?

9. The president said of his criticism of green energy "And it’s not politically correct. I’ll be very badly criticized for saying it, but I’m here to tell the truth. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me."
Do you think he is right to say what he believes to be true? and to try to warn European leaders? Explain your answer.

10. While many schools and universities teach climate change is a serious threat to our near future, various polls (Gallup, Pew...) have shown that other Americans do not view global climate change as a threat, or worry only a little or not at all about climate change. Are you surprised by President Trump's assertions about climate change and green energy, including his statement: “Climate change is the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world”? Explain your answer.
