I hope we can have universal acceptance and deployment of EVs.

Yeah, I think it is important that as we develop fossil fuels that we also develop the technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

I believe I was nominated by President Biden because I am obsessed with creating good paying jobs in America.

The products that reduce carbon emissions are going to create a $23 trillion global market by 2030.

I believe that if we are going to get to net carbon zero emissions by 2050, we cannot do it without coal, oil, gas being part of the mix.

The rules, the economic rules suggest that when the supply goes down, the price goes up.

I knew that it was coming. It was part of the campaign promise of President Biden.

We can allow other countries to corner the market on carbon reduction technologies or we can put our workers in good paying jobs manufacturing and installing those solutions in America.

I know that part of what Joe Biden has put together is a, sort of, SWAT team inside of the Federal Government to focus on communities that are, that have powered America and to make sure that we don't leave those workers behind.

Bottom line is place-based strategies are critical for areas that have been left behind.

Senator Manchin and Senator Stabenow have 48C which is, which they hope will be able to be plussed up to entice job providers into communities that have been left behind.

I think it was, it had a lot of foresight in appointing John Kerry to be the climate envoy.

The goal was to create 10 million in the United States using these technologies.

You skate to where the puck is going.

Part of what Joe Biden's Executive Order was today was to create a whole of government effort with respect to, especially electric vehicles, charging.

We cannot leave our people behind.

I think that we can work together.

The auto industry itself, as Senator Stabenow said, is making big investments in this.

We should be energy secure and I do think that we should be doing it in the cleanest way possible.

I look forward to working with you to bring good paying jobs to every state and to make sure that no worker gets left behind.

It is long past time for every republican to come out and stand for American democracy and acknowledge Joe Biden as the President-elect so we can move forward together to tackle these big issues like the COVID crisis.

But you have to balance it against what people are experiencing on the ground.

No, not at all. I think it's not going to backfire. People are fired up.

And it's a huge moment for the president not to just talk happy talk, but in fact, to show some empathy rather than just bragging.

If he doesn't fund the Postal Service, people won't be able to do what he doesn't want them to do, which is to vote by mail.
