OK, so if you can't tell already,

00:10

I'm from Texas.

00:11

(Cheers and applause)

00:16

And I also spent my career in the oil and gas industry.

00:19

So do you hate me yet?

00:21

(Laughter)

00:23

Let's hope not.

00:24

So I went into oil and gas because energy is life.

00:29

And I wanted to be able to provide people with lights, air conditioning, heat,

00:35

and, of course, the ability to watch funny cat videos on their phone.

00:40

(Laughter)

00:41

But energy also evolves.

00:43

So humans used to burn wood for heat and light.

00:47

01:24

And the deeper you drill, the hotter it gets.

01:28

And this heat, this energy,

01:31

it's always on, it's clean,

01:35

and it actually holds 50,000 times more energy

01:39

than all of the oil and gas reserves

01:42

on the planet.

01:44
