Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.56,0:04:58.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now that may seem too rosy to believe
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.85,0:05:02.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the political obstacles\Nare in fact enormous.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.02,0:05:04.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it is a simple fact --

Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.10,0:06:00.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could mean if we developed\Nbetter technology,
