Obama view on Global Warming

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwH9DWT3AzY


Obama feels very strongly about the needs to fix the global warming problem. He is doing many things to try to fix this huge problem that we have in the world today. The first that he has already done for the American people are getting the miles per gallon changed so that by 2020 all cars must have 35 miles to the gallon. He also thinks that we should be getting more to the gallon then that and says he will fight to get it lower than that. If you ask me that is really good but if he can get it better then that more power to him.
Another thing that he is going to do is try to make it so car fuel burns and use 10% clean burning fuel. If you think of all the cars that we have in the world if we could get it to ten percent it we make a huge difference in the long run and even a day by day difference. The most recent thing that he is trying to do is to get the power plants on track to keep up with the rest of the world. Obama thinks that by the year 2050 all power plants should reduce their use of greenhouse gas by 80%. And if they use more than they are aloud then they must for it in fines and taxes. I think that getting the power plants on board would be a very good thing because they use the most of the harmful chemicals that are causing global warming.
The really cool thing that I thought he was doing is giving tax breaks on thing that promote green living. For example electric car are going to have less taxes than a normal car. He also says that in government building they are switching over light bulbs to use more efficient ones to save energy. He thinks that going green is really going to help with global warming and that everyone should try to go green and help out where even they can.
Obama say that he is not going to be able to do this alone and that every person in the world needs to step up and do their part for the cause. He believes that were can solve this problem a lot faster than most people think we can and that all we have to do is give a little effort. Obama thinks that we cannot leave this world a mess when we leave because our parent did a good job making sure it was clean for us and we should do the same for our kids. The real problem is getting everyone to believe that we can fix the problem and once we do that cleaning up the world and stopping global warming will be easy.
