WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:02.392
MUCH TO GET RID OF THE WATER ON
THIS ROAD.

00:02.403 --> 00:03.607
THIS ROAD.

00:03.608 --> 00:10.839
>> WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THEM

00:10.841 --> 00:11.859
RIGHT NOW.

00:11.860 --> 00:13.262
THE NATIONAL CLIMATE ADVISOR,

00:13.296 --> 00:14.878
ALI VITALI NOT TO SEE YOU--

00:14.889 --> 00:16.620
NICE TO SEE YOU AND I WILL SEE

00:16.631 --> 00:18.591
YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN

00:18.602 --> 00:20.627
ANOTHER OCCASION TO DO THIS IN

00:20.638 --> 00:22.726
PERSON BUT HOW DO YOU BALANCE

00:22.761 --> 00:25.265
PREVENTION OF CLIMATE CHANGES

00:25.276 --> 00:27.200
WITH THE MITIGATION OF WHAT WE

00:27.211 --> 00:30.067
ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING?

00:30.078 --> 00:32.359
>> TO BE WITH YOU.

00:32.360 --> 00:33.955
WE ARE SEEING THOSE VISUALS,

00:33.966 --> 00:38.694
THE GUT WRENCHING EFFECTS OF

00:38.728 --> 00:39.586
CLIMATE CHANGE.

00:39.587 --> 00:41.215
NOT A LINE IN A SCIENTIFIC

00:41.226 --> 00:42.323
MANUAL BUT A REALITY IN

00:42.334 --> 00:43.943
COMMUNITIES ALL ACROSS THE

00:43.977 --> 00:44.309
COUNTRY.

00:44.320 --> 00:45.804
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS,

00:45.838 --> 00:48.109
WHERE WE ARE IN THE CRISIS

00:48.120 --> 00:49.741
MEANS WE HAVE TO DO BOTH THINGS

00:49.752 --> 00:50.684
AT THE SAME TIME.

00:50.719 --> 00:53.399
WE HAVE TO HARDEN

00:53.410 --> 00:55.119
INFRASTRUCTURE, RAISE ROADS AND

00:55.130 --> 00:57.507
BRIDGES, IMPROVE THE RESILIENCE

00:57.508 --> 00:59.197
OF OUR COMMUNITIES, BE PARTNERS

00:59.208 --> 01:01.078
IN THE RESPONSE, AND THEN AT

01:01.089 --> 01:02.553
THE SAME TIME, ATTACK THE ROOT

01:02.587 --> 01:03.895
CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE WHICH

01:03.906 --> 01:08.475
WE KNOW IS PUTTING GREENHOUSE

01:08.477 --> 01:10.217
GAS EMISSIONS AND BURNING

01:10.218 --> 01:11.709
FOSSIL FUELS, PUTTING IT INTO

01:11.710 --> 01:12.663
THE ATMOSPHERE AND CONTINUING

01:12.664 --> 01:13.665
TO DRIVE GLOBAL TEMPERATURES.

01:13.666 --> 01:15.235
WE HAVE TO DO BOTH THINGS AND

01:15.246 --> 01:15.940
THAT’S WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS

01:15.941 --> 01:16.297
DONE.

01:16.298 --> 01:20.361
A HISTORIC INVESTMENT IN

01:20.372 --> 01:22.785
RESILIENCE, $50 BILLION IN THE

01:22.786 --> 01:24.215
INFRASTRUCTURE LAW AND THE

01:24.216 --> 01:25.275
LARGEST INVESTMENT TACKLING

01:25.286 --> 01:26.372
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

01:26.373 --> 01:28.623
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE

01:28.634 --> 01:29.506
INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.

01:29.507 --> 01:31.774
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A POLICY

01:31.785 --> 01:33.721
GUY, NOT A POLITICS GUY, WHAT

01:33.722 --> 01:36.907
CAN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DO

01:36.941 --> 01:38.843
TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE IN

01:38.854 --> 01:41.372
SUCH A WAY THAT A FUTURE

01:41.407 --> 01:42.504
ADMINISTRATION, IS FORMER

01:42.506 --> 01:45.745
PRESIDENT TRUMP RETURNS TO

01:45.756 --> 01:46.948
OFFICE, CANNOT UNDO?

01:46.949 --> 01:48.320
YOU KNOW THE FORMER PRESIDENT

01:48.321 --> 01:49.815
HAS A DIFFERENT VIEW OF CLIMATE

01:49.826 --> 01:51.185
CHANGE AND HAS DESCRIBED IT AS

01:51.220 --> 01:51.813
A HOAX.

01:51.824 --> 01:53.955
WINDMILLS CAN CAUSE CANCER HE

01:53.966 --> 01:55.837
SAYS WHICH IS OF COURSE AN

01:55.871 --> 01:58.272
UNFOUNDED CLAIM AND NO EVIDENCE

01:58.273 --> 01:59.186
OF THAT.

01:59.197 --> 02:01.048
HOW DO YOU INSTITUTIONALIZE

02:01.059 --> 02:02.296
SOME OF THESE THINGS?

02:02.330 --> 02:06.383
>> ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND

02:06.394 --> 02:08.829
WAYS YOU CAN DO IT IS BY

02:08.840 --> 02:09.709
BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE

02:09.720 --> 02:10.787
THAT WE NEED TO TACKLE THE

02:10.788 --> 02:11.393
CLIMATE CRISIS.

02:11.394 --> 02:12.649
THERE ARE 185,000 CHARGING

02:12.684 --> 02:14.101
STATIONS THAT LINE OUR ROADS

02:14.102 --> 02:16.124
AND CHARGING STATIONS AND

02:16.135 --> 02:17.669
OPTIONAL WIND FARMS WHERE THE

02:17.680 --> 02:19.040
STEEL IS GOING IN THE WATER.

02:19.041 --> 02:20.312
80,000 FARMS THAT HAVE SIGNED

02:20.313 --> 02:21.643
UP TO TAKE ON CLIMATE SMART

02:21.654 --> 02:23.181
AGRICULTURE PRACTICES.

02:23.192 --> 02:25.373
OVER 100 FACTORIES AND COUNTIN

02:25.408 --> 02:26.987
, MANUFACTURING CLEAN PRODUCTS

02:26.988 --> 02:27.629
IN AMERICA.

02:27.640 --> 02:29.162
KNOWN IS GOING TO DRIVE AROUND

02:29.197 --> 02:32.534
AND RIP THE STEEL OUT OF THE

02:32.535 --> 02:33.582
GROUND REGARDLESS OF THE

02:33.593 --> 02:35.899
POLICIES IN WASHINGTON.

02:35.910 --> 02:38.378
HOW QUICKLY DO WE MOVE FORWARD?

02:38.389 --> 02:41.918
HOW DO WE ACCELERATE THE PACE

02:41.929 --> 02:43.909
OF PROGRESS? AND I THINK THAT

02:43.910 --> 02:45.658
COMES DOWN TO LEADERSHIP AND IT

02:45.669 --> 02:47.732
COMES DOWN TO POLICY DIRECTION.

02:47.766 --> 02:49.524
>> EVERY TIME I’VE BEEN THERE

02:49.535 --> 02:50.737
THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAY

02:50.739 --> 02:53.430
THIS IS THE YEAR OF

02:53.464 --> 02:55.191
IMPLEMENTATION AND I WANT TO

02:55.202 --> 02:57.986
HIT YOU SPECIFIC ON THE TOPIC

02:57.988 --> 03:01.234
OF THESE EV CHARGING STATIONS

03:01.268 --> 03:02.001
RIGHT NOW.

03:02.002 --> 03:03.291
PETE BUTTIGIEG THE SECRETARY OF

03:03.302 --> 03:05.355
TRANSPORTATION HAS SAYS WE NEED

03:05.390 --> 03:08.224
ABOUT HALF 1 MILLION OF THESE

03:08.235 --> 03:10.039
STATIONS BY 2030 WHICH MEANS WE

03:10.050 --> 03:12.015
HAVE TO PICK UP THE PACE A TON

03:12.016 --> 03:14.585
RIGHT NOW.

03:14.620 --> 03:17.441
HOW MANY CHARGING STATIONS HAVE

03:17.452 --> 03:19.062
BEEN BUILT FROM THE MONEY

03:19.063 --> 03:20.200
DIRECTED TO THIS EFFORT FROM

03:20.211 --> 03:21.334
THE IRA SO FAR?

03:21.335 --> 03:23.933
>> THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT

03:23.934 --> 03:25.549
PROVIDES THE PRIVATE SECTOR

03:25.560 --> 03:28.206
WITH TAX INCENTIVES, LOANS AND

03:28.217 --> 03:29.712
GRANTS TO GET THIS CHARGING

03:29.747 --> 03:31.747
INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT.

03:31.748 --> 03:34.094
WE HAVE 185,000 CHARGERS BUILT

03:34.105 --> 03:35.557
WHICH IS ALMOST DOUBLE THE

03:35.559 --> 03:36.710
NUMBER ON THE ROADS AND

03:36.711 --> 03:37.640
HIGHWAYS RELATIVE TO WHEN THE

03:37.675 --> 03:38.484
PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE.

03:38.495 --> 03:41.132
>> TO MAKE SURE I GET IT RIGHT,

03:41.133 --> 03:44.452
ARE THOSE CHARGES BEING BUILT

03:44.463 --> 03:45.569
FROM THE IRA?

03:45.580 --> 03:47.167
HOW MANY ARE BEING BUILT FROM

03:47.202 --> 03:52.353
THE FUNDING DIRECTED FROM THE

03:52.354 --> 03:52.788
IRA?

03:52.799 --> 03:54.367
>> ALMOST ALL OF THOSE CHARGES

03:54.378 --> 03:55.366
ARE CLAIMING TAX CREDITS

03:55.401 --> 03:56.038
PROVIDED THROUGH PRESIDENT

03:56.049 --> 03:56.458
BIDEN’S INFLATION REDUCTION

03:56.469 --> 03:56.832
ACT.

03:56.866 --> 04:00.864
THERE ARE ALSO CREDITS BEING

04:00.875 --> 04:02.586
PROVIDED TO MANUFACTURE THOSE

04:02.597 --> 04:03.020
TECHNOLOGIES.

04:03.021 --> 04:06.398
WE’VE GOT ABOUT 40 FACTORIES

04:06.433 --> 04:07.900
THAT ARE MANUFACTURING CHARGERS

04:07.911 --> 04:10.811
OR PART OF THAT SUPPLY CHAIN.

04:10.812 --> 04:12.237
THAT’S HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE

04:12.248 --> 04:13.281
INVESTMENT AGENDA OF THE

04:13.315 --> 04:14.889
PRESIDENT AND BY THE WAY THANKS

04:14.900 --> 04:17.012
TO HIS LEADERSHIP WE’VE GOT THE

04:17.013 --> 04:19.952
ENTIRE AUTO SECTOR SPRINTING TO
ESTABLISH US LEADERSHIP ON

04:19.963 --> 04:21.919
ESTABLISH US LEADERSHIP ON

04:21.954 --> 04:25.868
DELIVERING CHOICES TO COMMUTERS

04:25.869 --> 04:28.686
RATHER THAN LOCKING US OUT OF

04:28.697 --> 04:30.036
LEADERSHIP IN THIS NEXT

04:30.037 --> 04:32.507
GENERATION OF TRANSPORTATION TO

04:32.508 --> 04:33.887
OLOGIES WHERE FRANKLY BEFORE

04:33.921 --> 04:35.047
THE PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE,

04:35.048 --> 04:35.746
CHINA WAS ABSOLUTELY THE

04:35.757 --> 04:36.973
LEADER.

04:36.984 --> 04:39.768
TODAY THE US HAS REPOSITIONED

04:39.803 --> 04:41.287
TO LEAD ONCE AGAIN.

04:41.298 --> 04:44.418
>> I GUESS THE LAST QUESTION

04:44.429 --> 04:46.487
WILL BE DO A LOT OF AMERICANS

04:46.488 --> 04:47.872
WHO ARE DISMISSIVE OF THIS,

04:47.883 --> 04:49.338
ONLY 5% OF VOTERS IN A RECENT

04:49.339 --> 04:50.731
POLL SAYING CLIMATE CHANGE IS

04:50.732 --> 04:54.899
THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING

04:54.933 --> 04:57.400
THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW, WHAT DO

04:57.401 --> 04:58.991
YOU SAY TO THE AMERICANS WHO

04:59.002 --> 05:00.113
ARE NOT CONVINCED THIS SHOULD

05:00.115 --> 05:01.174
BE A TOP PRIORITY ESPECIALLY

05:01.208 --> 05:02.300
WHEN COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, THEY

05:02.311 --> 05:03.484
FEAR, AND INDIA BASED ON SOME

05:03.485 --> 05:04.677
EVIDENCE ARE NOT PURSUING THE

05:04.679 --> 05:07.176
SAME PATH THAT THE UNITED

05:07.178 --> 05:07.857
STATES IS?

05:07.858 --> 05:09.308
>> FOLKS I TALKED WITH ARE

05:09.342 --> 05:10.606
CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR THAT

05:10.617 --> 05:12.883
THEIR KIDS BREATHE AND THEY ARE

05:12.917 --> 05:14.460
GLAD THAT BIDEN IS INVESTING IN

05:14.471 --> 05:15.457
SCHOOL BUSES THAT RUN ON

05:15.458 --> 05:16.950
ELECTRIC RATHER THAN DIESEL.

05:16.961 --> 05:18.500
THE FOLKS I TALKED TO ARE

05:18.511 --> 05:19.713
CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE THE JOBS

05:19.715 --> 05:21.254
ARE GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE

05:21.289 --> 05:22.887
AND THEY ARE GLAD THAT TENS OF

05:22.889 --> 05:24.104
THOUSANDS OF JOBS ARE BEING

05:24.115 --> 05:24.854
CREATED IN THE CLEAN ENERGY

05:24.888 --> 05:25.251
ECONOMY.

05:25.262 --> 05:29.276
THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ENERGY

05:29.287 --> 05:31.697
COST AND ARE GLAD THAT JOE

05:31.698 --> 05:33.069
BIDEN IS PROVIDING REBATES AND

05:33.080 --> 05:34.134
CREDITS TO REDUCE HOME ENERGY

05:34.145 --> 05:34.822
BILLS AND UTILITY BILLS.

05:34.833 --> 05:35.368
SO LOOK.

05:35.403 --> 05:36.662
MAYBE THE CONVERSATION AT THE

05:36.673 --> 05:39.942
KITCHEN TABLE IS NOT ABOUT

05:39.943 --> 05:41.722
CLIMATE SCIENCE, BUT IT’S ABOUT

05:41.723 --> 05:43.300
TOPICS THAT RELATE BACK TO

05:43.334 --> 05:44.547
WHETHER THE US IS STEPPING UP
