The key number for people to remember is one to 150 for the cost and energy that it takes to charge a single electric car, our system could charge 150 bikes or scooters in public space that then people have access to. So the question from an equity standpoint, from really achieving our climate goals standpoint is, do you invest in getting one person mobile and maintaining maybe the current lifestyle that goes along with those cars? Or do we make some changes and invest in 150 to 200 people being mobile with the same energy? Clearly, we think the answer is more people moving more often, more sustainably. And we have to make that shift or we're never going to hit the 2030 goals. They are probably not even in reach, you heard the Secretary-General say just last week. And even 2050 seems a long way to go if we're still investing in technologies that only essentially help the 1 percent that already have the resources. It's the larger population that we really need to reach.

My whole idea is to find ways to promote and support entrepreneurship. So, my version of entrepreneurship is designing sustainable systems. There is no need to continue doing the same thing so that we can anticipate the same results of building a traditional business. Now, we have an opportunity to explore how you want your business to be. How do you want the organization? How do you want the mindset of the people that you want to hire? When people take the time–not everybody loves to take the time because we live in this world, we have to get it done–but when you take the time to conversate and build using both logic and creativity and thinking about prospecting, what can be possibilities in the future, then that brings along a good dialogue. It brings people together and empowerment, and good ideas come out that turn into good, profitable companies.

I would like them to know just how powerful they are, that they have the power to shape the world. At some point, I realized that the world is produced. The world is designed and produced, and since we designed and produced it, we can redesign it. And you can play a part in designing it. You can play a part in that production. It doesn't have to happen to you. And I think, for too many people, too much power and too much control is concentrated in too few hands. People need to have the power to control and design their own life.
