can you imagine grassroots faults from a lot -- appalachia, the hood, native american reservations, to have enough money to connect with the geniuses that have disrupted the space industry, disrupted taxis and hotels and bookstores. to start disrupting poverty and pollution and the $90 billion prison industry. you take people on the front lines in their wisdom and genius and creativity and you give them a shot. they will not turn around neighborhoods. they will turn around the nation. that is what will happen. i appreciate you for lifting the sealing off of people's dreams. you have lifted the ceiling off the dreams of humanity today. that is an important thing. do not be mad about it. when you see somebody reaching for the heavens, be glad. there is a lot more heaven out there to reach for. we can do that together. last thing i will say is this. if the small group of people can make miracles happen in outer space, a bigger group of people can make miracles happen down here. we will do it. thank you very much.

think of company towns across appalachia and other parts of the country where one big corporation runs the show. when corporations have that kind of leverage over workers, it pushes down advertised wages. businesses don't feel the pressure to innovate or invest in their workforce. that hurts working families and hurts our economy. all told, between rising prices and lowering wages, lack of competition costs the median american household $5,000 a year. look, i am a proud capitalist. i spend -- spent most of my career rep setting the corporate state of delaware. i know america can't succeed unless american businesses succeed. capitalism without competition isn't capitalism, it's exploitation. without help he competition, big players can change and charge whatever they want and treat you however they want. for too many americans, that means accepting a bad deal for things you can't go without. so, we know we've got a problem, a major problem. we also have an incredible opportunity. we can bring back more competition to morph the country , helping entrepreneurs and small businesses get in

that's how bad it is in appalachia. >> i spent an entire day in mcdowell county discussing just those things with people that live there. you probably have seen the white house environmental justice advisory council's report on environmental justice. as i mentioned, the report outlines a multitude of policies that wouldn't benefit a community such as infrastructure repair, procurement of nuclear power, carbon capture and research and development. what do you think of these findings? i mean, how would they increase energy poverty. >> i think again, it would be devastating to the communities and one of the things we've talked about, too, minority impact sets. let's do a study to show how these policies will impact the vulnerable communities and a start to help us all understand how the environmental justice and these policies, what it will do to these particular communities. >> and we all share that. what policies should we put in place to reduce energy poverty? >> sensible energy policy that won't harm the environment, it won't harm the people who need the energy to move. >> thank you

think about company towns across appalachia, other parts of the country where one big corporation runs show. when corporations have that kind of leverage over workers, it pushes down advertised wages by up to 17%. as competition decreases, businesses don't feel the need to innovate or invest in their workforce. that hurts working families and hurts our economy. all told, between rising prices and lowering wages, lack of competition costs the median american household $5,000 a year. i am a proud capitalist. i spent most of my career representing the corporate state of delaware. i know america cannot succeed unless american business succeeds. let me be very clear, capitalism without competition is not capitalism, it is exploitation. without healthy competition, big players can change and charge whatever they want, and treat you however they want. for too many americans, that means accepting a bad deal for things that you cannot go without. so, we know we have a major problem. we also have an incredible opportunity. we can bring back more competition to more of the country, helping entrep

i want to paint a picture now of what's happening in apogee -- in appalachia.here are thousands of homes without sanitary sewage or septic service. that means human waste goes right into the creek in the rivers. there's a high rate of opioid use in drug overdoses. there are adverse health impacts in our communities compared to our surrounding regions. and much more. the impacts are not a result of climate change, as my colleagues would like you to believe. rather, they are caused by the policies of destroying energy communities. injustice is what we are here to talk to today. where is the justice for the communities that have been left behind by these policies? energy poverty and poverty caused by dangerous policies must be considered by this committee. we are never going to have those discussions if we continue to have -- [inaudible] this council stated that projects like carbon capture, nuclear power, or any improvement would not benefit communities. we should all be concerned with this. these are the principles that are supposed to guide the administration.

changed when i read the numbers, the numbers of pills coming into certain zip codes particularly in appalachiaand parts of ohio were so high, it didn't seem to me that any honest and decent pharma executive could read these in the monthly report and think that was okay. >> it's impossible. he can't get away with it. they knew where there was heavy concentrations, they never reported any of this to the fda, never reported anything back, they just put on their blinders and said let's pocket the money. there's a lot of responsibility that goes around, it is the fda, the middle distributors, doctors running pill mills, pharmacists who are willing to cut the roles and look the other way to fill the prescription that shouldn't be done though they will take the brunt of the blame because they are the owners of this star drug that because of so much devastation but there's plenty of blame to go around. >> tucker: if you can't stop eating certain things, maybe there's a reason for that. it turns out a lot of the food products we buy at the grocery store are addictive and processed, as processed as crac

one thing that is exciting is that in appalachia where ect is produced with our peers, we are producing it at emissions intensity levels the lowest not only in the country but around the world. so we have a great source of clean, responsibly produce gas here in the united states and it can be a tool and we are working to get that certified. our utility customers have confidence they have alternatives to show they are getting gas that is produced as clearly as possible. >> thank you for that.
