===“Well, I don't believe that climate change is just an issue that's convenient to bring up during a campaign. I believe it's one of the greatest moral challenges of our generation. That's why I've fought successfully in the Senate to increase our investment in renewable fuels. That's why I reached across the aisle to come up with a plan to raise our fuel standards… And I didn't just give a speech about it in front of some environmental audience in California. I went to Detroit, I stood in front of a group of automakers, and I told them that when I am president, there will be no more excuses — we will help them retool their factories, but they will have to make cars that use less oil.” -- Obama===

Obama feels that it's America's responsibility to address the issues of global warming and protect the environment. It starts with America’s dependency on fossil fuels. His plan is to decrease America’s dependency on fossil fuels. This plan includes investing $150 billion in renewable sources of energy. He plans on 20 percent of nation’s power supply to originate from renewable energy sources by 2020. He will require car companies to produce more cars that use less oil. He plans on setting caps on greenhouse gas emissions so that by 2050 the reduction is 80 percent.
