Transcript: I think we are very excited. He’s a man of action and will streamline the process. He wants to protect the environment but he also knows that there’s job creation that we need to move forward on so I think there’s a lot of optimism that we can do those two full things. We can chew gum and walk, we can protect the environment and create jobs.
