'60 Minutes': Parties bond over environmental issues Video Transcript
>> There you are with President Elect Obama.
>> Exactly.
>> He's already won over the president-elect to his environmental goals.
>> President Elect Obama has talked about that he would adapt our regulations and our goals of reducing the green house gases to 25% by the year in 2020 and then an additional 80% after that, so that's huge.
>> President Elect Obama says he's going to adapt what California is doing. You guys belong to different parties.
>> It has nothing to do at all with parties. Environmental issue, healthcare issue, educational issues and all of these kinds of things really has nothing to do with parties because I mean both parties want to have clean air, clean water and a clean environment that people don't get sick and die of cancer because of the paper and so much pollution. So I think that we should not draw a line in the sand as usually political parties do. I think we should work together in that because I think it is good for the environment, it's good for our health and it's good for the economy. ^M00:01:07
