Campaign in 2016 segments tonight, an interview with Donald Trump, not a believer in global warming.

Adverbs of degree

Obama thinks it's the number one problem of the world today and I think it's very low on the list.

The second conditional

If you were president, would you invest a lot of money in alternative energy to get away from fossil fuels?

Now, solar always sounds better than it is.

You know, you get your money back in 36 years.

The problem is the panels destroy themselves after 10 years.

So, you know, one of the top top professors at MIT, Hey president, thank you so much for coming.

So we're in relatively early stages of the investigation.

But some of these companies and some of the denial organizations and groups like the American Petroleum Institute have been actively seeking to distort the market to suppress investment in renewables through this relatively new line of propaganda.

Utility monopolies really, really fear disruption and have woken up and said, wow, the solar thing, I need to crush it before it kills me.

The last two weeks we had 55,000 people sign up in Nevada to say I want choice, I want energy freedom.

It's in a massive message, the rest of the country.
