"Wow. He makes me cry. And driven to get things done." That was how tri_blog described his feelings on his journal "Lost in Transition" after hearing Obama's address yesterday at Wesleyan University. It's hard not to share the feeling after watching the video--with an open mind, that is. i for one learned quite a lot about Obama, and also liked his take on the responsibilities of this generation of Americans concerning energy, climate change and development:
At a time when our ice caps are melting and our oceans are rising, we need you to help lead a green revolution. We still have time to avoid the catastrophic consequences of climate change if we get serious about investing in renewable sources of energy, and if we get a generation of volunteers to work on renewable energy projects, and teach folks about conservation, and help clean up polluted areas; if we send talented engineers and scientists abroad to help developing countries promote clean energy.
Most interesting...
