The high-quality speech brought by way of California's Honorable Governor Schwarzenegger has became the afternoon on the Georgetown University into an inspiring event.
Here is the print version of the keynote address of Gov. Schwarzenegger (with the advent element reduce):
GOVERNOR: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, John, for the extremely good introduction, I appreciate it very plenty. And it is terrific to be right here these days at Georgetown University, also recognized in my residence as the alma mater, because of course my spouse went to highschool here, and he or she graduated here at Georgetown. (Applause)
So I even have to say that I am relatively amazed to be here, and the purpose is due to the fact three and a 1/2 years ago when I ran for governor I turned into accompanied round by using environmental protestors with symptoms. They failed to like my Humvees and Hummers, and my SUVs, or whatever that I did. As a rely of truth, once I promised that I might enhance the environment once I have become governor, they did not accept as true with that either. So right here we are, 3 and a half years later, and I'm on the duvet of Newsweek as one of the big environmentalists. Only in America, this is all I can say. (Applause)
But let me tell you some thing; despite the fact that I love being on the cover of Newsweek, however there ought to had been some other people on that cover as well, and those are human beings that had been my companions in the Legislature. They have labored very difficult, they have been outstanding partners, and I'm speaking right here about, initially, Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez and Senator Perata. I invited both of them to return here but they could not make it, but I just wanted to thank them publicly for being such first rate environmentalists and such awesome leaders in the environment. So allow's deliver them a big hand, even though they are not here. (Applause)
Let me inform you some thing; that is the actual deal. This is the real deal. This female has been combating for the environment way before I ever have become governor, and she has without a doubt been the writer of those very critical law, and she or he has labored with our office, and she or he is a team player. And that is, you can see right here, she's a Democrat. Also the Speaker is a Democrat. Senator Perata is a Democrat. So this is what I'm talking about, working collectively in a bipartisan or post-partisan way, and that is how we get matters performed, because we work what's satisfactory for the people of California and for America. So thank you again to Assemblywoman Pavley. (Applause)
Now, I realize that is an environmental conference, but I do need to begin speaking first approximately bodybuilding. And the purpose is due to the fact bodybuilding is another ardour of mine, as you possibly recognize, and it has similarities there. Bodybuilding used to have a totally sketchy photograph. As a depend of fact, so much in order that some human beings that worked out seriously and pumped weights didn't admit they had been doing bodybuilding. As a depend of reality, say in the antique days, some of the very well-known Hollywood actors like Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, and the listing goes on and on, they all worked out with weights, but they by no means admitted it publicly due to the fact they didn't need to be associated with the gymnasiums that had been like dungeons and that had lovers, and that had weird people training in there. That is the kind of an image that it had.
But we modified that, we consciously changed that. And what we did became, we got here out with a ebook called Pumping Iron--I know a whole lot of you are familiar with that, specially the students--then the film Pumping Iron, and that modified bodybuilding, the picture of bodybuilding, dramatically. As a matter of fact, the belief of bodybuilding commenced to exchange and it became more and more hip and increasingly more appealing. And then all of a unexpected, each person desired to exercise. As a rely of fact, today you can visit any place in the global and you will discover a bodybuilding fitness center or an area in which you can do weight resistance training, and you could pass into any health club and you'll discover everyday people speakme about their abs, their lats, their deltoids, frame fats, and all those sorts of things. So that is how a good deal it modified. It became mainstream, it have become horny, attractive.
So a person the opposite day simply confirmed me a cartoon that turned into of a vehicle salesman in a showroom speaking to this couple. And the automobile salesman pointed at the car and said, "This automobile runs on an normal gasoline-powered engine, after which whilst it feels a little guilt, when it senses guilt, it switches over to battery electricity." Now, that's funny, it's a caricature. But let me let you know something; there is a whole lot of reality to that. For too long the environmental movement have been powered by means of guilt.
So girls and gents, I don't assume that any movement has ever made it and has ever made much progress based on guilt. Guilt is passive, guilt is inhibiting, and guilt is protecting. You bear in mind the commercials some of years ago, the advertisements mainly of a Native American who sees what we've done to the surroundings and then a 12 months runs down his cheek. You all remember the fact that? Well, let me let you know something; that method did not paintings, because a hit actions are built on passion, they are not constructed on guilt. They're built on passion, they may be built on confidence, and they are built on crucial mass. And regularly, they may be constructed on an element of alarm that galvanizes motion.
The environmental movement is, to apply a famous time period, about the tipping factor. It's approximately to get to the tipping factor. There's a tipping point, and I trust the tipping factor could be going on when the environmental movement is no longer visible as a nag or as a scold, but as a positive pressure in humans's lives. Now, I do not know whilst that tipping factor takes place, but I understand wherein--in California. In California, we are doing the whole lot that we will to tip the stability at the surroundings.
Now, first, allow me start with government policy. I don't need to enter all of the projects that we've got handed and all of the legal guidelines that we have passed, due to the fact that become already eloquently defined via John when he introduced me. But there are two things that stick out that have gotten us the most interest.
1. We passed a law to cap greenhouse gas emissions by using 25 percentage by means of the 12 months 2020. That essentially approach we are rolling back the greenhouse gases to the 1990 level via the yr 2020, after which we cross eighty percent under that via the year 2050.
2. I ordered a ten percent cut inside the carbon content material of transportation fuels.
Now, do I agree with that the standards that California sets will clear up international warming? Of path not. But what we're doing is making use of leverage in order that sooner or later the entire environmental factor pointers. That's what we are seeking to do. It's like a seesaw. You walk as much as it after which slowly it tips the alternative manner. That is what we're looking to do. California, as you know, is huge, California is strong, and what we do in California has improbable effect and it has effects. As a matter of truth, whilst you have a look at the globe, California is a little spot, however the kind of electricity of have an effect on that we've got at the relaxation of the sector is an equivalent of whole huge continent.
We are sending the arena a message. What we're saying is that we're going to trade the dynamic on greenhouse fuel and on carbon emissions. We are taking movements ourselves. We aren't expecting anyone, we aren't awaiting the federal government or for Washington. We are developing our own partnerships. We are partnering with Great Britain, we're partnering with provinces in Canada, with states within the United States, with the western states, with the northeastern states. And something? Every 12 months we're including increasingly more companions to our crew. We are increasing the momentum for trade.
In truth, California can be doing more to keep US automakers than every body else, due to the fact what we are doing is we are pushing them to make adjustments, to make the changes if you want to promote their cars in California. And all of us understand--permit's be honest--that in the event that they do not alternate, a person will. The Japanese will, the Chinese will, the South Koreans will, the Germans will, they all will. So what I need to do is, I need to save you that from taking place. I want them to promote their automobiles in California. I consider strongly in American era, and I think in the end it will likely be generation so as to in the long run shop Detroit.
Now, California, for example, has already a car company that's known as Tesla Motors. Tesla Motors has simply designed and produced a automobile that is known as the Tesla Roadster. It's one hundred percent electric powered. Now, why is it that a vehicle company that has by no means produced a car earlier than is already producing a car with zero emissions--0 emissions--and Detroit continues to be lagging in the back of? Now, this car, allow me tell you something, is a very sexy searching automobile. It's honestly cool. I suggest, I test drove it. It goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. It drives a hundred thirty miles an hour, and it has 250 miles on a price, and then the recharging handiest takes 3 1/2 hours. Now, that is what I call cool. And the car price one hundred,000 bucks--to be precise, 98,000 dollars--and it is so famous, it bought out without delay. And now the second one version is being produced, and that automobile, the cost will drop right down to 50,000 greenbacks.
So we can see wherein that is heading, economics tells us in which that is heading. It's like the mobile telephones. I consider once I bought a mobile smartphone, the primary cell telephone, which became kind of a radio cellphone, twenty years in the past. It was 1,600 bucks. The next version I offered a few years later was 1,200, and the next one was 750. I simply currently offered a mobile phone for my daughter and it become beneath 90 bucks. Now, because of the costs that have dropped down, almost everybody can afford a mobile cellphone, and the identical aspect goes to happen to the environmental technologies in automobiles. Government can supply a push by means of putting requirements, so California is giving the nation and the arena a push.
Now, beyond authorities policy, the second tipping issue is monetary. California is the main edge of what I name 'the environmental financial system'. The aerospace industry constructed the contemporary economy of southern California. The pc industry and the internet built the economic system of Silicon Valley. And now the green clean era, along with biotech, may be the next wave of California's economy.
Right now in California's university labs, corporate studies parks, even in undeniable searching workplaces and in strip shops, something very exciting is going on--something very exciting. The nation's brightest scientists and the neatest task capitalists are all racing to locate opportunity or new technology for alternative energy. It is a race that is fueled through billions and billions of dollars. Capitalism, apparently enough, which become the alleged enemy of the environment, is today giving new existence to the environmental motion.
Daniel Jurgen, the famous oil analyst, says that if this all-out interest keeps, anticipate dramatic results. And the head of PG&E, California's biggest software, says that the power industry is on the point of a revolution. And you already know something is up whilst General Electric says that it is promoting its plastic business because it sees extra capacity in boom and profits in environmental items and services.
In an environmental economic system the super factor is that we can do both; we will guard the environment and defend the economy, and that is what I've been announcing for years. Of path, humans didn't believe in it. People said that you need to pick out between one or the opposite; we have to select among the surroundings and the economic system. And I said no, we will do both. We can defend the financial system and protect the environment, and we've got tested that during California.
Now, the third tipping factor that I want to mention is the attitude of the people. I believe the environmental movement is within the midst of redefining itself as something more modern, greater assured, and extra nice. As governor, I talk to scientists in our universities, I speak to CEOs that run important groups. And permit me inform you, those are not wacky people. Mainstream scientists are convinced, mainstream CEOs are convinced, and in case you study the surveys, mainstream Americans are satisfied that worldwide warming and weather trade is actual and we have to do something positive about it. So who're the lovers now? Who are the fans? They are those who're in denial. They're in environmental denial, they're in monetary denial, and they are in political denial. Who are the fanatics while DuPont has hired the previous head of Greenpeace International? Who are the fans when most important groups at the moment are traumatic that the federal authorities as soon as and for all passes new laws to set standards for greenhouse gasoline emissions? Major agencies like DuPont, GE, Wal-Mart, BP and PG&E trust that the weather alternate is actual. That is the mainstream speakme, that is the establishment speaking.
Now, some of you have got perhaps visible the cable TV show called Pimp My Ride. Have you visible that? Maybe not, perhaps no longer everyone has seen it. But the fact of the matter is, it's a actual cool show. It's a real cool display, and what they do is, they take vintage junk automobiles that we commonly should crush, and that they lead them to into lowriders and that they make them into muscle motors. Now, my teenage son watches that show all the time, and on occasion I watch it with him.
As a count number of fact, I currently did a section of that display to be able to air on Earth Day, and the cause why it will air on Earth Day is due to the fact we take this cool display and that they did some thing, and brought some thing that changed into environmentally hip. Here's what we did. We took a 1965 Impala, and we made it right into a lowrider, but now not an regular low-rider. We dropped in an 800 horsepower engine, and that 800 horsepower engine goes from zero to 60 in three seconds. Now, you know how rapid that is--in 3 seconds. But it's far biofueled, and meaning that it emits 50 percent much less greenhouse gases and it goes two times as a ways. Now, that's what I call cool.
You see, now we reduce down on the greenhouse gasoline emissions, so we do not have to surely move and remove the muscle motors, we don't ought to put off the Hummers or the SUVs or some thing like this, because this is a system for failure. Instead what we must do is make the ones cars extra environmentally muscular. That is what we must do. Now, due to that, one among my Hummers now could be walking on biofuel, and another one in every of my Hummers is now running on hydrogen. So those are the styles of changes that we have made as an alternative of having rid of the Hummers. (Applause)
So the new environmental movement isn't always about guilt, it's no longer about fringe, and it's no longer about being overwhelmed by using the enormity of the hassle, but it is approximately mainstream momentum, precisely what I mentioned in advance with bodybuilding. We have to make it mainstream. We should make it horny. We ought to make it attractive so that everyone desires to take part.
So finally, let me just say some thing about politics. Politics plays a large component within the tipping factor right here. If you're in opposition to taking action on greenhouse gases and common emissions your political base will soften away as simply as the polar icecaps, I can assure you that. You will become a political penguin on a smaller and smaller ice floe that is drifting out to sea. Good-bye, my little pal. That's what will appear. (Applause)
Because the surroundings is a public value, and politicians who forget about it are doing so at their own peril. Now, privately I know many politicians have come up to me and said, "How can we do what you are doing in California?" And I tell them there are best two phrases that I even have to mention, and this is mandates and markets, mandates and markets, like we have in California. And then I additionally introduced, I said, "And you have to have political braveness." I stated, "Just understand that political courage isn't always political suicide."
Now, a number of my fellow Republicans, of path, are raising a totally legitimate factor. They say, "What suitable does it do if we do all of these remarkable things for the surroundings, and in the period in-between the growing international, where emissions are growing the fastest, would not do anything?" Now, I believe in free exchange, and I believe that it lifts all of us's standard of residing. But sooner or later, we are able to take a look at the countries that produce goods with out regard to the surroundings the identical manner as we take a look at international locations that produce goods without regard to human rights--and meaning that the ones countries, of course, that I'm speakme approximately are the ones which have sweat shops. My guess is that in the next decade or so if an financial system ignores the harm that it's doing to the environment, the civilized international will impose environmental tariffs, responsibilities, and different alternate restrictions to the ones international locations. This is a matter of truthful change. Nations cannot dump products, countries can not dump something, and in the destiny they may now not be capable of sell off carbon or greenhouse gases both, because this is an unfair alternate benefit.
Now, women and gents, in closing let me simply say that there are nevertheless a variety of human beings which can be pessimistic approximately how we are going to deal with the environmental issues. I am optimistic--but I'm continually constructive--however in this example I'm very positive, and the reason is because I sense things tipping. I experience things tipping, I feel matters transferring forward. As a count number of fact, I say do no longer be downhearted about the environment, because matters are approximately to tip our way.
Look what has came about this last month. A documentary approximately global warming has gained the Oscar. You can today open up any newspaper and they may be talking approximately international warming and how all of us can take part. Any tv display, any radio display you could activate, they're going to talk about worldwide warming and about the greenhouse fuel emissions and inexperienced era and so on.
Today I went to a magazine shop, and within the mag store I noticed eight covers--8 covers. As a remember of truth it became nine, I observed another one simply an hour ago. Nine covers--9 mag covers, all talking approximately green generation, approximately plug-in motors, and approximately Mother Earth, and Town and Country has a green issue, and it is going on and on. Including, of path, permit's not overlook the satisfactory problem of all, Newsweek. You all saw that, proper? (Applause)
So basically what I'm saying is, things are tipping our way. Thank you very a whole lot for listening, and I truely respect you being here. Thank you very a whole lot. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you very a whole lot. And now, in case you do not thoughts, I'd want to carry over to the podium my buddy and a tremendous environmentalist, high-quality chief, superb warrior for the surroundings, Fran Pavley, our Assemblywoman. Please. (Applause)

It may be cited that the speech of California's Governor is directed to US automakers asking them to be vigilant in assisting to resolve environmental troubles by generating environment-friendly motors. The maximum famous "inexperienced cars" hired in the US today are hybrid cars and most of the manufacturers that we like have joined the bandwagon except for the long-lasting Jeep brand which has no longer yet turned "green". But in fairness to the Chrysler's iconic logo it has progressed its automobile additives like for instance its Jeep Wrangler parts to lessen dangerous emissions.
