We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.
Barack Obama
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.
Barack Obama
