Come on kids, you are going to be OUR HEROS!!
"I'll finish with this story. When I was 13 years old, I heard that proposal by President Kennedy to land a person on the Moon and bring him back safely in 10 years. And I heard adults of that day and time say, "That's reckless, expensive, may well fail." But eight years and two months later, in the moment that Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, there was great cheer that went up in NASA's mission control in Houston. Here's a little-known fact about that: the average age of the systems engineers, the controllers in the room that day, was 26, which means, among other things, their age, when they heard that challenge, was 18."
"Now, in one of the presentations yesterday, the jitney thing, there is an effort to use regulations to slow this down. And I just don't think it's going to work."

"There's a woman in Atlanta, Debbie Dooley,
who's the Chairman
of the Atlanta Tea Party.
They enlisted her
in this effort to put a tax
on solar panels and regulations.
And she had just put
solar panels on her roof
and she didn't understand the request."

"And so she went and formed
an alliance with the Sierra Club
and they formed a new organization
called the Green Tea Party. "

"And they defeated the proposal.
So, finally, the answer
to your question is,
this sounds a little corny
and maybe it's a cliché,
but 10 years ago -- and Christiana
referred to this --
there are people in this audience
who played an incredibly significant role
in generating those exponential curves.
And it didn't work out economically
for some of them,
but it kick-started
this global revolution.
And what people in this audience do now
with the knowledge
that we are going to win this.
But it matters a lot how fast we win it."
TOGETHER we WILL change the world!
