the faa as to a decision. you have commercial drones. lot of people find drones under their tree this year. what is important is the faa is focused on keeping everyone safe. everything put out is with the mindset that we want to avoid as much as possible having people hit other people with them. i think on our side, the commercial side, we are focused on our partners to work with the faa to make regulatory changes so we can work in job sites where we have far more dangerous things roaming around then in the consumer world. emily: it's fun to talk about at least. we will see. , thank you for joining us. david to patrick, you are sticking with me. we will have more "bloomberg west." ♪ emily: billionaire tech titans combatning forces to climate change. bill gates joins a group of investors including mark zuckerberg, jeff bezos, and jack ma to launch the largest coalition for clean energy. the aim is to speed government-funded research. theing me, the captain of team and david kirkpatrick. tom, how are these investments being structured? it'

to enforce safety, some of the rules currently involved with drones are, the faa requires non-commercial operators to fly them below 55 pounds. they must stay below 400 feet. they can't go closer than five miles to an airport. drones must be kept in sight. and they must stay clear of manned aircrafts. we saw rain, snow and hail yesterday...but today's just a bit windy. but what do we have in store tomorrow? for that, we'll toss it over to chief meteorologis t ron demers. weather ad-lib the storm system that brought siouxland a lot of rain yesterday, and even some snow, has moved on to the east although the wind stayed pesky today. that wind will die down tonight and it will be chilly with lows in the mid 20s. tomorrow will still be coolish in the low 50s but warmrm temps return for the weekend as we people both for and against the bakken voiced their opinions today during a public hearing today in boone iowa. 9:04 "this pipeline is importantant the oil is going to tranported one way another. 6:34 "no private property owner should have their property taken for their la to go to a private
