Despite pushback from some who prioritize low energy costs, it's necessary to create and adhere to tough standards to promote energy innovation. This includes partnerships between local officials and companies such as GM and initiatives such as the magnetic facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
The people who want cheap and abundant energy with no compromise or regulation must accept that, to improve the planet's condition, we need tough standards of production and protection. The speaker states that society must accept its hypocrisy when it comes to enjoying modern comfort at the expense of the energy system.
The pushback on infrastructure projects is hindering decision-making, however, local officials are happy with what has been achieved in some areas of Texas. It is important to find a way to overcome this hindrance and make things happen.
