And so that is real, and there's really no way –

Some people can look at a wind turbine and see soaring beauty and amazing engineering, and some people can look at it and see it as a blight on the landscape.

That's a hard one.

But what I see more broadly, and especially what we're seeing now in the Trump administration, is that wind and solar power is inexpensive.

we need more power.

When you go to these counties, I mean, they're like, it's a windfall.

I mean, one guy said, it has been a goldmine for our school district.

I mean, it makes tremendous difference.

And so to see increasing amounts of the United States turning away from that possibility and just cutting it off, like this will never happen in this county, it feels short-sighted.

And then the broader issue, and we've certainly seen this under the Trump administration, is that

The United States is turning away from wind and solar power and geothermal, though geothermal they're less concerned about, and really doubling down on fossil fuels.

And the rest of the world is doing exactly the opposite.

I mean, you know, China is building out wind and solar.

And when I speak to people about this, they're concerned that the United States is going to be left behind in this major, important transition.

And at some point, if we try and play it

catch up, it's going to be a lot more expensive.

As always, I am thrilled to be here.

Thanks so much.

Yeah, so they are like everywhere here in San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin, LA. The ones that you'll see around are run by Waymo, which is a Google-owned company. They're actually electric Jaguars. They're very nice cars. And then they've got kind of all this wedding cake-esque stuff on top of them that is part of the system that allows them to drive without a driver.
