Obama wants tougher emission standards

Barack Obama, President of the United Sates of America, has ordered the governemtn on monday that California and other states should re examine the amount of emissions that they use. and that they should lower the amount of energy that they use. Obama has also told his administration to get on with the new fuel efficieny guidelines for the auto industry for the year of 2011 model cars. This is a quote from Obama:

"For the sake of our security, our economy and our planet, we must have the courage and commitment to change," Obama said in his first formal event in the ornate East Room of the White house.





"It will be the policy of my administration," he said, "to reverse our dependence on foreign oil while building a new energy economy that will create millions of jobs."
California along with 12 other states have decided to think of tougher emission standards.

In my opinion, I think that what Barack Obama is doing is the first step for him to be a succesfull president. One of the biggest issues in the world right now, is global warming. Al Gore a couple years ago in his movie/lecture called, " An Inconvenient Truth" discussed very in depth on this matter. Obama wants to start by saving the ozone layer and the environment and is good that he is standing up to the plate. America is also one of the top countries in the world that let off the most emission, and after he sets up these tougher emission standards, I think that alot of other countries will follow along with him. Not only is Barack Obama one step up of saving and improving America, he is also one step up in changing the world.
