Unscramble the Blue Letters
LO: So it strikes me that you actually hold a really interesting pesrepictve. You know, you're now at Apple and, like, deep in the business world around these things, but formerly, you actually led the US Environmental Protection Agency under the Obama administration, so you've seen the gveoemnnrt side as well. What, in your mind, is the right way to look at the respective roles of the sttae and the mraekt in fighting the climate crisis?
LJ: I don't think there's anything that business can do that replaces the role of government and leadership. Yes, I ran the EPA, but the other part of my history is I worked there almost 20 yreas before I became the head of the EPA. And you see firsthand, right, that only government is really charged with protecting its cnztiies. We always think protection, and we think the military, but I think the pcteiorton of the eneinavrotnml Protection Agency or the Air Quality Board in California or a local health department is as important to the day-to-day life of the people in that jurisdiction as anything that the other security-type protection can provide.
