"the Chinese President... committed to installing as much clean energy, renewable energy, by the year 2030 as all of the existing electricity capacity in the United States today combined."

"So I think it is important for us to make clear that we have begun to break this link between increase in gross domestic product and a reduction in greenhouse gases."

"When you have the big three auto manufacturers and the Edison Electric Institute endorsing a bill to reduce greenhouse gases by 80 percent by 2050, you are no longer in the radical extreme."

"there is nothing the President is doing which is not consistent with the law which we have."
