Bill Clinton Says Economic Slowdown Might Be Necessary To Combat Global Warming PDF

Speaking in Denver on Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton did not mince words on how to combat global warming, telling the crowd that the fight against climate change required industrialized nations to "slow down their economies and cut back on greenhouse gas emissions."
Bill Clinton, who was traveling from state to state to campaign on behalf of his wife's presidential bid, spoke to the Colorado crowd about the importance of a good energy plan not only to curb greenhouse gas emission and global warming, but also to stimulate job growth as well.

Although Clinton said that an active environmental plan may require an initial slowdown of the economy, the former President assured the audience his wife was the best candidate for the White House, with a viable, sustainable energy plan to "help save the planet for our grandchildren."

Speaking on behalf of his wife's energy proposals, Bill Clinton told the crowd, "If you want a clean, efficient, green, independent energy future in America...if you want the millions of jobs that will come from it, if you would like to see a new energy trust fund to finance solar energy and wind energy and biomass and responsible bio-fuels and electric hybrid plug-in vehicles...and to create millions and millions and millions of jobs, vote for her. She'll give it to you. She's got the right energy plan." (ahn)
