Okay, who wants to take that first?

I can go first, if that's all right.

Every week at my job, we actually have Fun Friday, as we call it.
13:26
Just for fun, we use paper airplane notes to communicate instead of email.

Sometimes it can be really slow at the office, so we have a little fun.

And of course, many thanks to our listeners tuning into The Big Fib, where we leave a paper trail of truth to guide you through the ridiculous pulp fiction of lies.

The Big Fib is a production of Gen-Z Media.

For more great shows, why don't you visit gzmshows.com? And while you're there, why don't you find out how you can be a contestant? And while you're finding that out, why don't you send questions for me to answer on the show, okay? All right, bud.

And so that makes me think, you know, when you hear this international commitment and the big talk about doubling the pace of gains across the global economy...Is that really realistic?
18:14
Yeah.
18:14
I mean, I, I think it is.
18:16
And I'll, and I'll give you a, a few different perspectives.

You know, one, and I'll give just a, a US-focused example, you know, if you go into an average large commercial, industrial building in the US, I, you know, I can almost guarantee you that there is 30 to 40% of the energy used that can be saved.
18:36
So, I think, you know, we're almost sitting on this just reserve of an energy resource that businesses, schools, hospitals in the US and across the globe are not tapping into.
18:48
And, you know, why isn't that happening? I think it, you know, it's not happening for a variety of reasons.

How has it left you feeling about the global effort on climate change and the energy transition? Where do you think it's going?
