As long as that virus is replicating somewhere, it's going to be mutating ; and if it's mutating, it could come back to bite us, we have a strong national security interest in making sure that the world is vaccinated, and we are going to be playing our part.

For the vaccines that we have directly on hand or will shortly, we're going to decide whether to do some or all of that through COVAX or how much of that will be done directly, country-to-country. All of that is in the works, and we'll have a plan in place in the coming days.

Right now, we're falling behind. China is the largest producer and exporter of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and electric vehicles. It holds nearly a third of the world's renewable energy patents, if we don't catch up, America will miss the chance to shape the world's climate future in a way that reflects our interests and values, and we'll lose out on countless jobs for the American people.

America fails to lead the world on addressing the climate crisis, we won't have much of a world left, if we succeed, we'll capitalize on the greatest opportunities to create quality jobs in generations. We'll build a more equitable healthy and sustainable society and will protect this bank of this planet.

Not only whether United States creates opportunities for American workers and businesses, but also whether United States's green and sustainable, and done in a way that's transparent ; respects workers' rights ; gives the local population a say ; and doesn't mire developing governments and communities in debt. United States's an opportunity for us, the global renewable energy market is projected to be $ 2.15 trillion by 2025.

It would be a serious mistake for anyone to try to change the existing status quo by force.
