incredible respect for atlee far at the very top of that list but
you're here uh... helping eat you put the same together didn't work
uh...
yeah we we have co-sponsored this event uh... the national clean energy summit
this is the fourth one we've done in las vegas we began in in two thousand eight
bunch by do you think
word first discussed then uh...
uh... what the winds were speaking secretary choose finishing his remarks
here
night he was
uh... then aunt uh...
at berkeley
uh... and nobel prize winning scientists he came in in and talked about the
future of energy then
uh... in some of the ideas that were discussing the very first time in
have made their way into law in the recovery act in this
push for cleantech jabs by and and uh... kristin hughes net uh...
nominated and confirmed to be acceptor benji doing a great job there
they are so
you know we continue this conversation and i think that
uh... it's important to kinda get
both business uh... the public sector
uh... and
the these uh... great leaders from from our government together so that they can
cross fertilized think about ways that they can
uh... keep this revolution going in clean energy and get the american people
walken all weekend about eliza is the thing that astounds me is that uh...
you've got
members of congress if i can get political for a moment in
if you don't mind
bob you get these people coming back in a congress saying
we're gonna spend the money on anything
when we're splitting or sending a a billion dollars a day to saudi arabia
ino etcetera
were crazy for oil and absolutely crazy
alot more than half of our trade deficit
uh... comes from importing oil uh... mostly from people who don't like it so
all that much pride and i i think that
uh... we have got to kinda push forward
uh... with mutual technological solutions are going to be clear for the
environment better for the help of our people
uh... and um... are gonna reduce debt
you'd dependency which people keep talking about
uh... but we really going to be summoned by we're
we're sitting there in in the room and surrounded uh...
surrounding us
media are a bunch of new vehicles are being produced by
some new company some all companies from fort hood mitsubishi
uh...
and other essential overquota uh... and uh... and didn't uh... the sun
etcetera
these are technologies that are
you know because of the push
uh... towards increasing a fuel economy and input partly just because a high
price of oil
are getting market acceptance or come in on the market
uh... and that
you know they're really the future and i think they're not they're going to be
what puts people back to work in this country unseen thing is true in energy
efficiency and renewable energy
uh... this is a
you know we're we're in a state where the potential for renewable energy as it
is
uh... has the potential to obtain lift up an economy that was just completely
clobbered by them
uh... collapse in housing prices and financial crisis set aside my personal
conspiracy theory that the republicans won a crash the economy before november
twelfth twenty small so they won't
they won't do anything
uh... looking to the twenty thirteen congress if we can get president obama
reelected and we can get more democrats in congress
isn't it time for americans are looking at what denmark did for example not now
they're they're putting five billion dollars and electric cars in the cars
will actually be the battery system for those windmills they're running during
the winter people charge the cars that night meant self-interested back when
they when they get to work um... you-know-what germany did withers no
hundred-thousand solar ra props
you know at your basic
infrastructure investments in energy here in the united states you go all
over the world uh... you china's design it's done
uh... uh... have uh... done
now the of aggressive he didn't care if they've got uh... until fifty billion
dollar loan program
uh... they're investing in these technologies 'cause they know that's
where the
that's for the future license were manufacturing
uh... is is moving towards us renovation inefficiency comes from
and our european competitors are asian competitors
are all moving in that direction if we
uh... sit back and and decide that we're not gonna make the right kind of
investments for this country
we're going to be left out in left behind and in some cases really it's
uh... it's a small thing half of all the cars in brazil or flex fuel card random
obligation as a hundred and twenty two dollars right
and and the rolling off the seller line that way with the extra hundred twenty
two dollars and we're here in the same kind of stuff that we heard that we were
all fear was talking about seatbelts
or or air bags you know
all it's gonna cost you know it's gonna kellyanne district attorney has touched
a hundred twenty two dollars what to say i would break through the state you know
i a head
it's good that what one place so that their goodbye think the administration
has been successful as working with car companies in the truck companies
elective to spur
uh... a real boost in uh... efficiency and part of the of the auto fleet they
started two thousand nine when we had the first increasing cafe standards for
are carson in like three trucks behind that present just announced last month
that
by twenty twenty five model year their they're gonna
bruce dunn efficiency of uh... fleet wide auto efficiency standards to fifty
four point five
mpg elsie three that will that will save
duck consumers abided year one point seven trillion dollars
that's going back in their pockets that they're not spending nine ordeal
that's going to the saudis they're spending
uh... in you know in uh... productive ways immediately in the overall u_s_
economy
uh... and i'm usually
uh... it reduces uh... that that will import fee
and it reduces pollution by some very substantial amount raila and the car
companies agreed to that now under they're moving forward with these new
kinds of vehicles that i'll treasure that all of that i'm curious your
thoughts on to boone pickens plan that we that we uh...
basically move our entire truck fleet a natural gas and then electric wire cars
cuz
more than half of all car trips or less than fifty miles in a day you could
instantly electrify capture car please
well they pay you know i think that
uh... there is a future for natural gas in the transportation sector
uh... and i think that
uh... bruce sorry got onto this early which is that you could substitute
natural gas uh... for or oil particularly
in heavy-duty trucks which need and more power
there are uh... in in in fact of
who we we looked at yesterday
for for fleet
van sant rocks there
our electric applications for those as well also i think even
year that nafta was storage technology is getting better the storage technology
is getting better
uh... the capacity to produce
uh... of vehicle for on for example urban delivery herb delivery vehicles
for a fedex or uh... are free away or a wal-mart
that's moving goods around at that have relatively compact area
uh... you could already moved those on onto electricity and anna
good price point terms of that what the truck cost at the front end and and
uh...
with tremendous fuel savings at the back and see
uh... corporations across the country
gravitating to towards our solutions a lot of investment are coming
natural gas i think as something dancing uh...
potential to displace are all well imports
uh... both in the transportation sector and obviously but it's only and is also
looked at the hostel filters isn't what i want to be aware of that
you know i think of it is a bridge field we have an abundant supply in united
states
uh... that the energy department just
arusha i'll report uh... of an outside expert committee
and that said that we need to do something to do it sure did that very
the
uh... idea particularly with the site out for acting method and getting cognex
getting that natural gas supplies
that there needs to be
a more transparency of their on environmental our safety yet
it's a little more planning water no more flavor of her time
that that actually comes from traditional exploration of the accidents
but answered with this this there are environmental issues associated with
that nothing leakage of central we need to do a better job of
uh... using best practices can and being a member of sensitive but there's
tremendous opportunity to exploit those resources that are
homegrown domestically produced right and especially those that don't produce
carbon emissions digest which is that had thought about hydro
on john podesta thanks so much just dropping by its or is this is the people
the great work
