President Barack Obama headed to Las Vegas, Nevada for a climate speech Monday night, his first day back from vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard.
Speaking at Senator Harry Reid’s National Clean Energy Summit, the president announced new green energy initiatives including his re-commitment to provide solar power to housing on over 40 military bases across the United States with the help of more companies.
The military initiative, which stems from an executive action in March to reduce the federal government’s greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent over the next decade from 2008 levels, has made significant progress.
