Rick Rule, president and CEO of Rule Investment Media, joins The Market Online in the above video to share his thoughts on what a Democratic or Republican 2024 presidential election victory might mean for the markets as well as the future of energy as a blend, versus a single source of power.

“We need to pay attention to all forms of energy, and we need to pay attention to the grid. There’s huge opportunity in that.”

— Rick Rule, CEO Rule Investment Media

He also touches on his involvement with uranium and how the companies he invested in went from being vilified to being subsidized.

“I went from being a despicable scum to being a hero that now deserves $5.6 billion in subsidies.”

— Rick Rule

Rule believes that a Donald Trump election victory could be good for the U.S. oil and gas industry and permitting regimes for mining in the western United States, particularly in Alaska. He adds that a Kamala Harris victory might scare the country club Republicans, “the old fat, bald, white rich guys, like me, except for guys like me who are politically inclined.”

He points out some underlying problems in the United States include excessive government spending and the U.S. bullying other countries with the extraterritorial imposition of U.S. power. Rule also notes the concerns in the United States on whether the country needs to regain its dominance of the supply chain.
