gas stations, gas station attendants make up the majority of jobs in the oil sector. that's an important point whereas over 25% of the jobs in energy are in manufacturing. so you're able to do a number in construction, sales. it's a much more diversified set of occupations and industries. i think that's important because it's part of the competitiveness strategy. we can't just have a service-based economy we want production and export. there's a whole jobs argument. i've made green arguments. it's an important point i want to take issue with the doctor, i would combine your level playing field and externalize cost arguments. in fact, we're talking about a maturing industry, in some cases more mature than others, that is coming into a situation where there are already a lot of subsidies. it's not a mature industry on a level playing field, obvious investment if this was the right thing to invest in. you just go there, right? if you have an unequal playing field where a bunch of industries have been built out but still subsidized and you're trying to come into that situation with new technologies that are not subsidized at the same level trying to bud out their infrastructure, that's a huge combination of how do you compete. how do you compete if their costigur in, subsidized beyond the industry and you're trying to get into the market. i think you have to combine those two and look at the broader picture of the fact these are emerging industries that haven't built out their infrastructure is, in fact, why you see jobs at the beginning, just like we were hearing over here. we're building out the infrastructure for renewable energy much in the way we built out infrastructure in the early days of oil and gas. you see a similar argument with keystone pipeline. lots of jobs in keystone. why in they are building a big pipeline. there's a lot of construction jobs at the beginning of any process. jobs level off after the process starts. you keep getting jobs in the industry through invasion. that's why it makes sense to go to clean energy. lots of new construction jobs, manufacturing jobs, continued innovation through research and development especially as demand grows around the world. the last thing i'll say because i know ken wants me to stop talking is that we didn't hear a lot about opportunity costs here, of continuing with the status quo. i've said some already, costs of competitive, insecurity, volatile, the one i want to get to oil drelg off california point, you do a lot of oil drilling offshore. there's a lot of research to back this up. you lose money in things like tourism, fisheries, commercial fishing, you lose the ability to do offshore wind development, which is a pretty good
