Yes, yes. Yes. Yes, we are. We're in we're asking those who are producers to increase so that we have a supply that meets the demand?

Oil is sold on a global market and that market is controlled by a cartel and that cartel is OPEC.

Yes, we were. And in fact, I left on Saturday just after the infrastructure bill was passed.

I am very confident that we are going to get, for example, these very significant tax credits which are -- which are monetizable, which are paid up front to allow for the build out of these technologies.

We have got to build better. We`ve got to make sure that we make it resilient. But Chris, we have to address climate change which is the cause of all of this in the first place.

Well, first of all, one of the things he says in that bill is that he wants to ensure that we`re not increasing debt and deficit, and Joe Biden agrees with him.

So, when we build something back, we better build it back better, which is exactly what Joe Biden wants to see happen.

We’ve got to address climate change. Not only is the west on fire, our hair should be on fire about this.

We have 881 days left in this term of this President’s administration. We feel a huge sense of urgency.

Total no brainer. In fact, the President in his original proposal had put $16 billion in to be able to do this. Democrats like it. Republicans like it. It`s got bipartisan support.

It would also, I would say build--lift up disadvantaged communities, including Tribal nations and communities of color.

We are completely committed to progressing significantly on the appliance standards issue.

the plan is to get another site, not Yucca Mountain, but to get another place that is willing to be the home of nuclear waste.

the administration is looking at this methane issue very seriously.

It is expensive to underground transmission wires. However, other countries are doing it.

American Jobs Plan is called 'Jobs Plan' for a reason, which is that this kind of technology... is a huge job creator.

We have to do both research and development on next generation, nuclear, advanced, modular, et cetera.

I agree a hundred percent. And I think that microgrids are one piece in some areas.

I think microgrids are an important piece of resilience.

Yes, I support that. The CarbonSAFE, which is where the demonstration projects come out of.

Some of this is just not controversial. Everybody agrees we`ve got to have roads and bridges and basic infrastructure and including electricity that comes into your home. The bottom line is, there is the shape of a bipartisan deal. And…

40 percent of the benefits of the American Jobs Plan are going to be directed to communities that have been left behind.
