Obama: Days of US Inaction on Energy Crisis “Now Over”
------------------------------------------------------



President Obama visited Iowa Wednesday to mark International Earth Day.
Speaking at a wind plant, Obama vowed to change US inaction on combating
global warming.

President Obama: “If we’ve got problems with climate change and the
temperature rising all around the world, that knows no boundaries. The
decisions of any nation will affect every nation. So, next week I will
be gathering leaders of major economies from all around the world to
talk about how we can work together to address this energy crisis and
this climate crisis. Truth is, the United States has been slow to
participate in this kind of a process, working with other nations. But
those days are over now.”
