Under his leadership, fuel economy standards have doubled, strong incentives are driving innovation in renewable energy and the smart grid, and clean air standards are reducing emissions and improving public health. The president's actions today will accelerate these trends -- shifting power plants from coal to gas, encouraging greater energy efficiency and more renewable energy development.
