    “Some states are actually way ahead of us federally, in terms of their level of climate ambition and the creativity that they’ve brought to this and the steps they’ve taken. Others, we’re pulling along and really working to encourage them,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in an interview Wednesday. He added that Washington will benefit from the “laboratory effect” across different states. “No one unit of government, including ours, has all the answers on how to do this most cost-effectively and efficiently.”

    Nope we have no idea how to move people efficiently and effectively, no sir, let's just let the states decide what's best for themselves and I'm sure we'll sort out these climate shenanigans!
