Yay! You GO, President Obama!!!
One question: can a subsequent Republican President undo this? Reagan ripped out the solar panels that Carter installed at the White House. I know it’s not the same, but mean-spiritedness is it’s own reward for some.

Yep, that’s the problem with EOs as the way to govern. The next President can replace all of them with her/his own.
On a different tangent, I wonder if doing things for the environment in the second term will replace the quest for peace in the Middle East as the thing President’s do to buff up their legacy.
If we don’t preserve it, it will be destroyed. And by it, I mean everything that is beautiful or simply there for endless generations to enjoy.
Get rich quick schemers despise beautiful things that mean more than money.
And by we, I mean liberals, we are the chosen ones.
Great action, but we need more.
This lecture provides a great primer on why we need to focus even more on saving the planet’s oceans. The ladies get into some inside joking at points, but the conciseness and breadth are quite astounding.
