🎙️ Q-Point Podcast | U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (Ohio)

"We Could Drive Maine's Energy Prices Down Dramatically"
— Moreno On Maine Energy Costs

Senior United States Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio returns to Q-Point Podcast for an in-depth conversation covering some of the biggest issues facing Maine and the nation.

Moreno discusses President Trump's approach to Iran, the future of U.S. manufacturing, tariffs, housing affordability, property taxes, interest rates, artificial intelligence data centers, and the federal government's role in shaping economic policy.

A significant portion of the conversation focuses on Maine's high electricity costs, where Moreno argues that expanded natural gas infrastructure could dramatically reduce energy prices across New England. He also discusses small modular nuclear reactors, energy permitting, and what he sees as the biggest obstacles to affordable power in the region.

The interview also explores Moreno's Connected Vehicle Security Act, which would restrict Chinese-connected vehicles from entering the U.S. market, along with federal electric vehicle mandates, charging infrastructure spending, and the future of the American auto industry.

Additional topics include the capital gains exclusion on primary residences, housing inventory, institutional investor ownership of homes, the Road to Housing bill, tax policy, and the outlook for the 2026 elections.

📻 Airs weekends on The Voice of Maine and WLOB Portland.
