| 00:00:01 | I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY. |
| 00:00:09 | IT HAS BEEN MY HONOR TO SERVE WITH MAYOR ANTHONY FOX AS CO- CHAIR OF THE CHARLOTTE A HOST COMMITTEE. |
| 00:00:19 | I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE AT THE LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO MAKE THIS A WONDERFUL CONVENTION SO FAR. |
| 00:00:31 | AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE MAIN EVENT. |
| 00:00:36 | I AM NOT HERE TONIGHT AS A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN IN THE WAR POLICY PRESENT. |
| 00:00:48 | I AM HERE SIMPLY AS A THE GRANDFATHER. |
| 00:00:52 | I HAVE EIGHT GRANDKIDS. |
| 00:00:55 | MY OLDEST GRANDSON IS HERE WITH ME TODAY. |
| 00:00:59 | MANY OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. |
| 00:01:04 | AND WE WANT TO DO ALL WE CAN FOR THEIR HAPPINESS, THEIR HEALTH, AND FOR THEIR FUTURE. |
| 00:01:12 | WE WANT TO PASS WHAT I CALL THE GRANDCHILDREN'S PAST. |
| 00:01:20 | THAT IS, DECADES FROM NOW, WHAT OUR GRANDCHILDREN LOOK BACK AT THE DECISIONS WE HAVE MADE AS A COUNTRY, WILL THEY THANK THAT WE DID THE RIGHT SAYING? |
| 00:01:35 | WE WANT THEIR ANSWER TO BE, YES. |
| 00:01:41 | ONE WAY THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR GRANDKIDS IS TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR A CLEANER, MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE. |
| 00:01:55 | AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT MEANS TAKING A LONG-TERM APPROACH TOWARD ENERGY POLICIES BECAUSE THESE DECISIONS SHOULD NOT BE MADE IN THE FOUR-YEAR ELECTION CYCLES. |
| 00:02:11 | THAT IS WHY, THE ALL OF THE ABOVE ENERGY STRATEGY IS A GOOD PLACE TO START. |
| 00:02:19 | BUT WE MUST BE MORE INNOVATIVE. |
| 00:02:22 | WE NEED TO WORK EVEN HARDER. |
| 00:02:31 | AND THEN EVEN CLEANER ENERGY. |
| 00:02:36 | THAT MEANS WE NEED TO INVEST HEAVILY IN ZERO-EMISSION POWER SOURCES LIKE NUCLEAR, WIND, AND THE SOLAR PROJECTS AS WELL AS NEW TECHNOLOGY LIKE ELECTRIC VEHICLES. |
| 00:02:50 | AND WE CANNOT LOSE SIGHT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY. |
| 00:02:55 | BECAUSE THE CLEANEST, MOST EFFICIENT POWER PLANT IS THE WIND WE NEVER HAVE TO BUILD. |
| 00:03:05 | HERE IN CHARLOTTE, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE. |
| 00:03:12 | ONE OF OUR FIRST STEPS IS TO REDUCE OUR ENERGY USE BY 20% IN THE CHARLOTTE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. |
| 00:03:20 | AND WE ARE THINKING BEYOND ENERGY. |
| 00:03:24 | WE'RE ALSO INCREASING WATER CONSERVATION, REDUCING WASTE, AND IMPROVING OUR AIR. |
| 00:03:31 | THIS IS PART OF A MODEL THAT CAN BE REPRODUCED IN CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND EVEN AROUND THE WORLD. |
| 00:03:38 | BECAUSE ENERGY IS MORE THAN A PARTISAN ISSUE, IT IS AN AMERICAN ISSUE AND A GLOBAL ISSUE. |
| 00:03:46 | I KNOW THAT WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HAVE THE ABILITY TO LEAD THE WORLD, TO MEET TODAY'S ENERGY CHALLENGES, TO CROSS THE BRIDGE TO A CLEANER AND MORE SECURE WORLD. |
| 00:04:02 | AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO LEAVE OUR GRANDCHILDREN INTO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN THRIVE. |
| 00:04:08 | THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO CHARLOTTE. |
