If you asked me a year ago if I thought that this could happen, I would have said, “not in this life time.” I have spent too long trying to convince people that there is such a thing as Global Warming. I was getting very tired of hearing myself talk. Now… I can say this: We will soon have a President in the White house that has declared his commitment to Clean Renewable Energy! Wahoo! I can’t believe I can say that with a straight face.
President-elect Barack Obama spoke today via video to a climate conference in Los Angeles. He has committed to a cap-and-trade system that will cut global warming pollution 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. He also put forth an offer for Governors, Companies, and all Foreign Nations to enter into a partnership with the White House to take on the problem of Global Warming.
This is truly the beginning of a new era. No more figuring out how to convince people that we have a problem; now it’s about solving the problem! I am a very happy camper today! This is a big day.
Well, take a look for yourself.
Oh, and he also did a “Shout out” to Governors Crist, Schwarzenegger, and a few others for leading the way. Bravo!!
