From a podium at the U.S. Department of Energy, President Barack Obama made yet another announcement declaring the need for a new energy policy yesterday as he took action to improve energy efficiency standards.
In just a few short weeks, President Barack Obama has made significant strides to enforce stricter environmental regulations, demonstrating a marked change from the Bush administration’s policies toward air, water, and energy.
"Washington may not be ready to get serious about energy independence, but I am. And so are you. And so are the American people," said President Obama, according to the White House blog. "Inaction is not an option that is acceptable to me and it’s certainly not acceptable to the American people – not on energy, not on the economy, and not at this critical moment."
