Clinton's Speech on Climate Change

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton made a speech at the Department of Energy conference last week. Since this was a relatively confusing subject, there was a lot of background information placed strategically in the story without oversimplifying the subject matter. Clinton was speaking on behalf of the Clinton Climate Initiative and as an expert on the subject.

The speech was a calling the the Obama Adminstration to invest more of the budget on clean energy development, so the reporter referenced Obama's future plans/how Clinton's differs.

However, I did not think that the reporter put the "news" first, at least with the quotes. I would have put the more loaded quotes at the beginning that had to do with Clinton calling out the Obama administration. The reporter put those near the middle and toward the end, while more irrelevant quotes were put at the beginning.
