Calling for another -- billion dollars in green investments is he kidding.

More spending -- -- -- and meanwhile these reports are demonstrating once again the inherent.

Necessarily helping a man or.

It's hurting -- it's not -- protecting nature it hurts nature and just the audacity of government forcing you to use technology.

But if we don't do it China is doing as you think -- -- -- -- well as long as -- and about 99% of all noble prize by scientists think is an issue but you know the united decide debate that later at a different time -- I'm not assigned to -- you but they -- -- they agree with -- I will say this you know China is kicking our butts when it comes to green energy production of.

Don't do it if you want that Atlanta I -- -- argue they are what they are my reviews saying look there that's me everything except I am producing an -- if we don't do it.

The big god -- them -- go ahead and I didn't think that is -- economic the federal government tends to do.

They -- what business did they have to be in the automobile business on God's sake and why why should the federal government -- in any business they can't run anything right they can't do anything but lose our money it's costing you the taxpayer.

Bundles of money down the federal government get into anything it's just stupid but now when you say you come back do you go to -- substitutes simply -- when it becomes economically feasible to do so.

Private industry -- -- that David is not let somebody else do it why not.

Right up there let the Chinese do it will get it from the treasury just horrible bunch of buff -- but it's the logos of different initiatives that we've thrown a ton -- -- -- indirect.
