nearly enough about climate, not nearly enough for young people then democrats have something that is good as you are saying it is, they really can t sell it because the base says this is not enough. well we have to see what we get to, obviously. the clean energy performance program, we thought that was the best way to cut carbon emission, but i will say, joy, that there is a way for us to cut carbon emissions without doing the clean electricity performance program. we are looking right now at different options and we re modeling what is the emissions reduction that you would get from those options. i think there are some things, if we can get them in, that will really make a difference. and so i do feel like that is still possible. community college, look, i m desolate about that. that s my bill. i want it to be in there. we re just going to have to keep trying. medicare, negotiating drug prices, we hope we can still get
