It is my pleasure. Let's start by talking about energy. Demand for energy is increasing in the U.S. as well as worldwide. The U.S. accounts for about 11% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Because of the increasing demand for energy, the U.S. is consuming both more fossil fuels and more renewables. How do you see the energy situation in the U.S. ?

We haven't yet talked about China. China, as you know, accounts for about 30 percent of global greenhouse emissions. What is China doing with respect to energy and what do you think they should be doing?

The risk of a nuclear catastrophe, whether deliberately by accident or miscalculation, seems to be growing. Today, there are nine countries which have close to 20,000 nuclear weapons. In addition, there's radioactive materials from nuclear power plants and other sources. You are the head of the Nuclear Threat Initiative. What threats are you most worried about?
