This was stated in the 2000 election.

George W. Bush (click here) "will also ensure that the federal government, which is the country’s largest polluter, complies with all environmental laws."

Lies.  

To refuse the USA was responsible of 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, it was easier to blame China. So much for accountability. 

LEADING on the Climate Crisis means setting the example other countries need to follow. At the time Bush was pointing fingers at China, it was building wind farms in number and acres greater than the USA had. 

When President Obama went to China he didn't point a finger and demand for China to modernize their country and end their polluting. He showed China's leadership the willingness to work together with them to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Now, both the USA and China have a common mission and it is a good mission to end the danger of the Climate Crisis. It takes grown up with a moral center to act in a responsible way to bring about change. President Obama is that moral president. 

If Germany can do it, the USA can do it. Reduction in greenhouse gas emission by Germany also lowers it's dependency on natural gas. Alternative energy helps Germany with it's long term national security.

FRANKFURT, May 22 (Reuters) - German carbon dioxide (CO2)(click here) equivalent emissions regulated under the European emissions trading scheme (ETS) in 2014 fell by 4.1 percent to 461.2 million tonnes, according to official national data released on Friday.
The number was published by Germany's carbon registry DEHSt and underscored the general trend of lower pollution in the EU last year. The bloc's ETS emissions fell 4.5 percent, helped by the rise of renewable energy and mild weather, which lowers energy demand. "In Germany, 2014 was the warmest year on record since measuring started in 1881," the DEHSt report said....

All the other 195 countries needs to take example and apply alternative energy to increase their national security.
