Wouldn't that help come only the other man.
They probably wouldn't exactly exactly.
Exactly how to do it why did do it and he is suggesting he's he he met with governor Chris unity and -- -- Mayor Bloomberg Mayor Bloomberg endorsed him -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- and yet it was bottom line.
But some felt he went overboard Governor Christie you don't but I don't think so I don't at a at -- an.
In a situation like this I'd give somebody some room and -- these these -- Enormously difficult things to manage.
No matter how good -- job you do there's always something you didn't do write something didn't think of something that's gonna go wrong so I think both Mayor Bloomberg Governor Cuomo Governor Christie.
The ones I'd be most familiar -- in our area did a great job I think a lot of the other governors did too I think the emergency response here.
-- -- it was pretty good pretty.
You know what I think he gets Dicey -- when the longer people are without power but you dealt with something more dramatic when residents are but it was people waiting.
For their loved Elizabeth as a big that it was frustration -- But -- -- -- limit right what is that live -- -- I'll tell you what the issue that should be raised as a result of this and -- doesn't relate to any of these governors are.
We don't have.
The -- energy infrastructure that we should have time were operating to break.
I knew that is the mayor -- Nixon for eight years eight years every every summer hot day I'm worried that we're gonna have a -- -- I build ten new generators in New York City.
To kind of kind of address that.
But gosh I tried to build a big generator the environmentalists would have would have blocked it.
We need to amend your children and so you know -- we don't build you don't build nuclear power plants we don't expand.
Transmission lines we don't put in -- and -- generators.
Anytime you do.
To 1015 year process of litigation that we have to modernize.
Our infrastructure otherwise -- live and on the brink and something goes wrong then -- ten days five days four days to come back.
We should be able to put this all back in -- day or two if we had modern equipment maybe even less than that well.
What I noticed -- that when we put.
New power stations in all the same wiring the same circuitry believe -- I am not sort of on Ron.
But I can just look at and say well.
That storm that's gonna go to -- so at least in Japan when they rebuild a building respect it's a little bit more earthquake proof it's a little bit more earthquake resistant.
And gets the point -- Tokyo survives a lot of dead.
Earthquake so.
Why don't we do opposition to -- -- -- in America -- the large part is this is systemic particularly in northeast don't mean a matter you you you.
You have to undergo ten to fifteen years of litigation.
In order to get a new pipelines -- really trend.
