Matt Cartwright: “Price gouging by the oil companies was a big target of mine.”

“The people that made it had to drive to work. They had to run the production plant on energy, and they had to ship it with energy. That's why Price gouging by the oil companies was a big target of mine. But that's not a reason to stop using hydrocarbons right away, because we can't. We've got to ramp up renewables and use them when they're ready. Thank you, Mr. Carvery.” (51:40–51:45)
