Obama Talks Green to GM Workers. Grist, September 15, 2009. "President Barack Obama put a green spin on Tuesday's address to autoworkers at the GM assembly plant in Warren, Ohio. The president sounded confident that the rescued, retooled, reinvented, more or less government-owned GM would be 'good for American workers, good for American manufacturing, and good for America's economy.' And it may just be a good thing for the global climate too. 'For too long,' the president told the autoworkers, 'our auto companies faced uncertain and conflicting fuel economy standards. That made it difficult for you to plan down the road. That's why, today, we are launching -- for the first time in history -- a new national standard aimed at both increasing gas mileage and decreasing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks sold in America. This action will give our auto companies some long-overdue clarity, stability, and predictability.'"
