From the segment:
Leo: "Power by all accounts is one of the most binding constraints for growth and economic opps in Sub Saharan Africa. You look at all the different statistics, the figures, the surveys, and it's at the very top of the list." [0:55]
...
Leo: "By taking this approach [of expanding Power Africa], you can address an African concern, promote U.S. business and African business and do all of this at no cost to taxpayers. I think that's one of the major reasons that we're seeing bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for this legislation. Obama's initiative is focused on six countries, which is a great start. The Energize Africa bill really focuses in on this issue to make sure that whatever the executive branch is doing, they factor this in in a major way, so I think that's a big contribution. So it's a good start, and we'll have to keep a close eye on it to see where ultimately things go out." [2:41]
