eporter: The president yesterday was talking about this transition to greener energy someday…a lot of people can't afford a $60,000 electric car, and they also are having a hard time affording gas right now. Sounds like a painful transition. How much of that kind of pain is [Biden] okay with?

Jean- Pierre: We are in transition to clean energy…it is going to create jobs…

Reporter: People can't afford an electric car. The average price is $61,000.

Jean-Pierre: We're going to continue to move forward…

Reporter: $5,00 a gallon gas or a $61,000 electric car?

Jean-Pierre: That's apples and oranges. What we're trying to do right now is deal with an acute problem.
