Bill Clinton Says Energy Is #1 Priority

I had the good fortune to attend a speech by Bill Clinton last week at the University of Central Florida…okay, it was actually a politcal rally for Obama-Biden, and his speech was centered around moving voters to vote blue, but it was still pretty damned cool to see and hear Clinton. Let’s face it, he’s basically a rock star these days, and the 6000 people who showed up for the outdoor rally cheered him like one.

Clinton spoke extensively about the financial crisis and the US economy, and he flat-out said the number one priority in the United States is creating a clean and sustainable energy economy, which I think we can all agree on here at Greener Trends.

Here’s a Youtube vid with 9:35 of the speech (the whole thing lasted about thirty minutes)…he talks about energy at the 7:00 mark. The video quality isn’t the best, but you get the idea.

Anyone watch The Daily Show? Of course you do…Clinton was on last week and his dialogue with Jon Stewart was similarly themed, where he talks about the economy and alternative energy. Watch this, it’s awesome.
