Obama's fossil-fueled campaign trip to Europe

Obama's fossil-fueled summer trip

A column of black BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars ferried the candidate to a private meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel. Overhead, a police helicopter kept watch. Some 700 police have been deployed during the visit, which lasts through Friday morning.

Couldn't this trip wait until it could be completely powered by wind or solar energy?

A related quote is here:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.
