"WASHINGTON, DC – 'No challenge – no challenge – poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change,' President Barack Obama said to applause during his sixth State of the Union Address, delivered tonight to a joint session of Congress.
The President told the lawmakers, members of his administration, Supreme Court justices, military leaders and distinguished guests how he and his administration have reversed the economic crisis, beaten back terrorists, reduced America’s dependence on foreign oil and protected the planet.
'And today, America is number one in oil and gas. America is number one in wind power. Every three weeks, we bring online as much solar power as we did in all of 2008. And thanks to lower gas prices and higher fuel standards, the typical family this year should save about $750 at the pump,' Obama said proudly."
