The 2016 State of the Union Address
Statement of EDF President Fred Krupp -- January 12, 2016
“President Obama has built an impressive environmental legacy during his seven years in office. Tonight’s State of the Union address showed that climate change and clean energy will continue to be priorities for this White House in 2016, and that’s good news for all of us. The President is right that working for a clean energy future, including giving families the freedom to generate and store their own energy, is an area where people should work together across the political spectrum.”
