President Obama is the “greenest” president of all time, according to the White House.
During today’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest pointed to the “tremendous progress” made on green initiatives under the Obama administration, including a boom in wind and solar power investments and jobs.
Part of the president’s legacy, Earnest explained, would be the implementation of the “clean power” rule that regulates power plants to reduce carbon pollution.
“I think that is an indication of the president’s conviction on this issue, but it’s also why the president is going to go down in history as the greenest president we’ve ever had.”
