While the title of the article was pretty funny in my opinion.  They called it Our
Green President, George W. Bush!  Funny part is in a way they were kind of correct.
However, I am more excited about the fact that right leaning news such as Fox Business
News can appreciate going green.  So on my Facebook page, I declared that Republicans
and the Right can now start to like going green.

Here is an excerpt:

_President Barack Obama has chided the federal government  to be more energy efficient
with cost-saving moves, as part of his groundbreaking initiative to transform the
nation’s energy infrastructure. Doing so would save tens of billions of dollars,
the administration has argued._

_What’s gone unnoticed is President George W. Bush had already launched the federal
government on an energy efficiency program back in 2003, a program that is already
saving U.S. taxpayers lots of money, notes Seth Leitman, otherwise known as The 
Green Living Guy._

_Leitman is the author of a number of alternative energy books, including “Green
Lighting, Build Your Own Electric Vehicle,” “and the Green Guru Guides for McGraw-
Hill. Leitman also worked for the New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority  on marketing and managing alternative-fueled vehicle and [electric vehicle programs](https://greenlivingguy.com/2005/10/one-of-the-electric-vehicle-programs-i-was-involved-in/)._

_“Before we get into political fights over cutting government waste on energy, the
federal government is already well on its way in cutting waste in its energy,” says
Leitman._

_The federal government spends an estimated $500 billion annually on its energy 
needs, from light bulbs to cars to fuel, Leitman says, and that budget is coming
down. “The government is already trying to be efficient and has been efficient during
both [Republican](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/03/new-study-republcan-donors-install-as-much-solar-as-dems/)
and Democrat administrations,” he says._
