[Q] Concerning climate change, do you support cap-and-trade?

Yes, absolutely, I think it creates so much job opportunity for New York state. [Where's the part about saving our grandchildren from fiery floods?] We lead in production of renewable energies in many areas. We have companies that are leading in wind, solar, geothermal, fuel cell. Hydropower we do throughout the state; we always have. We are cutting edge on battery technology.

If you have cap-and-trade you are putting a price on carbon, which is important, but you’re also investing in conservation technologies, which means those are investments in our businesses in New York and in job growth. So I think it’s a huge opportunity for our country, for national security and for job creation.
