What I Said at the White House – April 22, 2011

"If It's Not 'Clean' Energy, Don't Call It That"

Kirin Kennedy, a fellow Energy Action Coaltion (EAC) Steering Committee Member, was talking about the kind of work that young people are doing all across the country to address the threat of global climate change when President Obama burst into the room and said, "Hello, everybody!"

I caught the eye of my friend Maura Cowley who is Co-Director of EAC, with a mutual look of, "What is happening right now??? Did the president really just drop in on our meeting???"
