#shorts Kennedy: how much it’s going to cost.
Turk: I know with certainty of all the experts I’ve spoken about, it’s cheaper to get our act together than it is to not get our act together on climate change.

Kennedy: Then tell me the costs vs the cost if we don’t do it.
Turk: I think it’s orders of magnitude different.
Kennedy: You don’t have a cost. You want us to get there, but you can’t tell the American taxpayer how much it’s going to cost. Is that your testimony?
Turk: It’s going to save us money, and there’s a lot of jobs.
Kennedy: Well, how do we know if you don’t know how much it’s going to cost?
Turk: I’d be happy to pull up the latest numbers that I’ve seen.
Kennedy: “How about $50 trillion? Is that right?”
Turk: “It’s going to cost trillions of dollars. There’s no doubt about it.”
