You know, the United States has a PR problem abroad, with other countries, because they don't think we're serious about doing something about climate change.

Well, that is a consideration--we cannot do no solution. I do not think we can do that. So let us find the delicate balance.

We must allow the market to figure out how to price this new risk.
