President Obama Urged Americans To Go Green

WASHINGTON, D.C. -  Soon after he took his oath of office, President Obama gave a heartfelt speech about America.  In addition to the economy and turmoil overseas, the President made several references to the battle against global warming.

"Each day," he said, "brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet."

"With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet," he said.

"To those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect," he said. "For the world has changed, and we must change with it."

For the specifics on Obama's energy environmental policies, whitehouse.gov is already updated with the administration's agenda.
