So China, Brazil, now India. And they expect us to help them by inventing really inexpensive ways to go green. And so the biggest hope— for the environmental stuff is innovation. If the green stuff is really expensive, even the rich countries are kind of saying, hey, don't make me buy an electric car if it costs more. Don't make me buy an electric heat pump.

And so, you know, it's gonna have to be all of us saying we're in this together, it's one planet, but also a lot of innovation because nobody can agree if it's expensive, who should pay for it.

No, there's definitely some validity. For example, if you want to build an electricity transmission line, you often have to go through almost a decade of approvals. And of course, that line, if anybody blocks it, then it doesn't work at all. And so we need to have more collective action as we try and change, you know, move away from coal production

electricity to other things, which is sun and wind and nuclear and a variety of things. We don't want to get rid of all the regulations because part of the reason the U.S. is so beautiful, we preserve lands, we've cleaned up our waters better than any other country.

But it is absolutely fair to say that many of these environmental reviews are delaying projects that we need in order to solve climate change.

Yes. So we're going to have to strike that balance.

No, absolutely. When I think about the health system or climate, we've got to solve these problems. We saw that when we weren't ready for the pandemic, millions of people died who shouldn't have died.
