Schwarzenegger launched the brand that is the very symbol of greenhouse gas gluttony.
>> So it runs in cooking oil?
>> Yeah, exactly. You can literally go up to a restaurant and get the cooking oil.
>> Now, he's reinvented the vehicle with green that is more than skin deep. He has one variation that runs partly on hydrogen and this one has an engine modified to run on bio-fuel.
>> I mean it runs basically on anything -- anything natural.
>> His point is that trying to chase Americans out of their big cars what he calls guilt trip environmentalism has failed.
>> And my point was, is no, no, people keep all the stuff that you like, but change the technology. So I started really pushing that agenda in a positive way. Look at the great things that we can do. We can turn this whole thing around. The damage that we have created over the last hundred years, we can undo that.
