First, he appointed a strong environmental team that's serious about climate change.

Second, he set the stage for allowing California and other states to set stricter emissions standards on vehicles and force automakers to offer more alternative fuel vehicles.

Now, the stimulus bill provides by far the largest investment America has ever made in renewable energy, efficiency projects, and alternative and public transportation.

This is not small change or third way politics. This is already a transformative Presidency in a way that Bill Clinton's never was.

Clinton failed to pass Kyoto and waited until his final 30 days to rush through a series of environmental regulations.

This is change I can believe in.
