Remember, Obama is constantly jumping in Air Force One to take cross country trips, along with his massive motorcades, to attend constant fundraisers. He and his family will often take separate planes for trips and vacations. He constantly takes large motorcades weekly to play golf, which is doubly bad for “climate change”. He has the largest carbon footprint in the world at 41000 metric tons. He had to be goaded into putting the (useless) solar panels back on the White House roof.
(AP) President Barack Obama will order the federal government on Thursday to cut its emissions of greenhouse gases by 40 percent, as the U.S. seeks to spur other nations to get serious about climate change.
Obama’s executive order will also direct the government to ramp up use of renewable energy sources to 30 percent of the federal government’s consumption. The White House said U.S. taxpayers could save up to $18 billion in electricity costs by reducing greenhouse gases 40 percent over the next decade, compared to 2008 levels.
Know what could save even more billions? Shutter many useless departments, eliminate redundant and overlapping jobs. Force government to be responsible with the People’s money like successful private sector companies.
Obama’s executive order will direct the federal government to:
- Cut energy use in federal buildings 2.5 percent every year between 2015 and 2025.
- Reduce the amount of water used in federal buildings 2 percent every year through 2025.
- Decrease greenhouse gas emissions from federal vehicles by 30 percent per mile by 2025, compared to the levels in 2014.
- Ensure federal agencies are getting 25 percent of their energy — both heat and electricity — from clean sources by 2025.
- Put more hybrid and zero-emission vehicles in the federal fleet of cars and trucks.
Notice that most of this will not effect Obama’s activities and lifestyle, and will mostly take effect after he has left the White House. He’s going to make an announcement as he tours the roof of the DOE Thursday, where some solar panels were installed. Tomorrow, there is a chance of snow in D.C. Go figure.
