Schwarzenegger to Detroit: "Get Off Your Butt" on Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/09/26/Arnold_Schwarzenegger_on_Keeping_California_Cool

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger criticizes the American automobile industry for its reluctance to embrace environmentally-friendly innovations.

-----

In signing a landmark climate change law two years ago, Governor Schwarzenegger put California ahead of the parade to a low-carbon economy. "The global warming debate is over," he declared. Public awareness has surged since then, but most of the hard work still lies ahead.

How will California meet its goal of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases 25 percent by 2020? Will offshore oil drilling be resumed? Who will pay for the transition to sustainable energy? Will California's energy and environmental laws become part of a national plan under a new president?

The governor will provide an update and his vision of the road ahead - The Commonwealth Club of California

Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-American bodybuilder, actor, businessman, and politician, currently serving as the 38th Governor of the state of California.

California has a very serious emissions problem and so does the rest of the world for that matter. Just because you don't believe in global warming, doesn't mean it's not here. California is already feeling massive droughts and agricultural productivity has already been hit. Greenhouse gases are very serious problem. I congratulate Arnold for doing what's right for the people, not for his party.
