“You're not going to transition from an all fossil fuel framework unless we can build and go big, particularly on green energy. And that is an area we have been very aggressive and will continue to be a final thing. We're laying down tracks later this year on high speed rail. We got 2,270 parcels now behind us. We got all those lawsuits done, we finished all the environmental work. So all that nonsense is behind us in a rear view.” (17:36–17:41)
