Attacked democrats and say there is a war on cold. The traditional existing infrastructure. Your age say you are and all of the above energy guy. Theres the promotion of natural gas pit of republicans that attack democrats and say theres a war on coal. Is that true . There is no war on coal. Make no bones about it there is a fundamental commitment that starts with the president on moving towards a low carbon future.

All the normal things that get debated in the primaries. I think it is a pretty good president ial field. Jeb bush would be formidable. If one of these guys beat jeb bush, it makes them more formidable. Like obama beating Hillary Clinton in 2008. You should go find him the first day their back on generate fifth and find out what they will do. The former governor of florida was kind of a mentor to rubio, came up to the state center there and a fantastic campaign that one in 2010. If rubio would announce an two weeks, i think it would be impressive. He respects jeb bush, he likes jeb bush, but he is not yielding to the older guy. It shows a kind of populist on rubios part. This may be typical of republican primaries to think that is impressive, rubio things he could do the job and jeb bush has more donors but rubios supporters have gone off to jeb bush. More of an uphill climb, but most president s become president have had uphill climbs, like clinton in 1992, president obama in 1998. If

What we are doing, its very different in execution i might say, to the defense review in the sense that in energy, its really a government exercise because the equities in energy are so broadly distributed. So we are working across the administration. Thats an important point. Secondly the first years focus is specific, as you said, on Energy Infrastructure. We have seen enormous challenges to our Energy Infrastructure over the last years, mainly a set of regional challenges. For example, new england, the absence of a natural Gas Infrastructure has led to enormous spikes. We have the issues of the polar vortex and propane in the midwest. We have
November. I was just in south america about a month ago to lay out the roadmap and how we are dealing with this. I just sent this morning one of our Deputy Assistant secretaries to iceland for a conference the next two days. This is critically important that we Pay Attention to this. Bottom line is, with all the crises of the moment, and thats part of my job, to manage immediate crisis, we also cannot lose sight of the strategic longerterm challenges that face our country either. And this is one that we got to be smart in how we handle it. Spent behind the political figures who would resist and argue about Climate Change respond differently when its coming from the pentagon . I think there is sometimes more of an awareness and edge put an issue it comes from the pentagon. Only because the military, the pentagon has maybe at least perceived by many people in more serious look at the world.
