From Barack Obama's commencement speech at Wesleyan University, 25 May 2008 (he was standing in for Ted Kennedy):
At a time when our ice caps are melting and our oceans are rising, we need you to help lead a green revolution. We still have time to avoid the catastrophic consequences of climate change if we get serious about investing in renewable sources of energy, and if we get a generation of volunteers to work on renewable energy projects, and teach folks about conservation, and help clean up polluted areas; if we send talented engineers and scientists abroad to help developing countries promote clean energy.
That last sentence is a reference to two graduating Wesleyens who are heading to Kenya with biogas digesters.
Annie Leonard misses the mark in her new video, “The Story of Cap-and-Trade”

Libs are so caught up in their current dream candidate, B. Obama, that they pass of his vacuous prose as having some merit. When I read things like
if we get serious about investing in renewable sources of energy, and if we get a generation of volunteers to work on renewable energy projects, and teach folks about conservation, and help clean up polluted areas
Duuudddee! We gotta like do something about investing in renewable sources of energy. Serious! Like environmentalism is like all about like teaching folks to clean up toxic waste sites and stuff.
