They look at this as an opportunity to change their business models and start to innovate and clean up...

Yeah. No, they absolutely create the opportunity to move markets and create new products for consumers that I think there is a strong demand.

I think the lens of equity should really be focused on the communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the negative health impacts and the environmental impacts.

He has not worked with me to be here.

We have scheduled the markup for impeachment articles at 10 o'clock AM ET on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
