It was totally.

And the point is just, you know, the power of an innovation is that you almost don't see it anymore.

It just happens.

And I think that's really the only way we're going to fix these big problems.

If you think about the nutrition problem back in the 60s, 70s, we worried a lot about India and other places.

The solution is not worrying or the solution was not us eating a little bit less and sending it down to India or wherever.

The solution was the green revolution, right?

It was the fact that some scientists made ways to make every seed produce three times as much so you could grow three times as much food in an acre.

And that's what basically made it possible for India to go from a basket case to the world's leading rice exporter.

And that's how you do these things.

You solve these big problems through innovation.

And again, I'm not saying that, you know, we're actually arguing our carbon tax is a smart thing to do.

You know, that's what any economist would tell you to do.

But it also turns out that it's partly, it's not going to solve most of the problem and it's incredibly politically hard to do.

So it may also just be the wrong sort of tree to bark up against.

If you can do it, please do.

But this is not the main thing that's going to solve climate.

The main thing is that we get these innovations that basically make green energy so cheap everyone will just want it.

I think both the point of, you know, saying that people are saying it's the end of the world, but no, I don't want a new clip house.

It just doesn't make sense.
