Ahead of crucial presidential debate in New York, US President Barack Obama said the United States would not let China win the race for clean energy technology as he will continue to emphasise on developing technologies ahead of countries like China.
‘I’m not going to let oil companies continue to collect another USD 4 billion in taxpayer-funded corporate welfare every single year. I’m not going to let China win the race for clean energy technology,’ Obama said in an election campaign speech in the battleground state of Ohio. Obama said his plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating the planet, because climate change is not a hoax.
‘More draught and floods and wildfires are not a joke. They’re a threat to your future. And we’ve got to make sure that we meet the moment. That’s why I’m running,’ he said. ‘I believe that we should have the best education system in the world, bar none. I would not be here if it were not for the education I was able to receive. I didn’t come from wealth or fame, but I got a great education because that’s what this country does. It was the gateway of opportunity for Michelle. It’s the gateway of opportunity for so many of you,’ he said.
