Barack Obama actually said...

"Leadership isn't about telling people what they want to hear - it's about telling them what they need to hear."

"We will also explore safer ways to use nuclear power, which right now accounts for more than 70% of our non-carbon generated electricity."

"There's no more pressing challenge facing our country than the threat of climate change."

"We will start by dramatically improving the efficiency of our buildings, which currently account for nearly half of all carbon emissions in America today."
