“I hope your stock price goes up,” he told Rice employees sheltering from the rain in marquee that had set up in the company car park. “That is the American way. Praise Jesus.” The former Florida governor joked at the evangelical tone to his remarks, adding: “I feel like I just met the pope. This is a tent revival meeting.”

With his sleeves rolled up despite the pouring rain, Bush claimed the company’s success “makes environmentalists nervous” but should be celebrated. “Where’s the marching band, for crying out loud?” he said. “That’s the American way.”

The former Florida governor left without taking questions from journalists, who were forced inside a metal pen and prevented from leaving to speak to him after his speech, which only saw brief questions from the company founders. After the former governor left, the press tent was overcome with fumes from one of the several generators that had been set up in the parking lot.
