Fred Krupp, EDF’s president, is the newest star of the *Washington Post*‘s power-broker video series “On Leadership.”

In it, Fred talks about what it will take to get a clean energy bill passed in Congress, the need for Presidential involvement, and “putting together the recipe that wins.” He says:

- “What we’re working on is the biggest most awesome threat to the future of humanity, maybe save nuclear weapons, that I know of.”
- “I think a lot of far-sighted business people …see a future where we’re going to have to do things in a new way.”
- “The leaders who are resistant \[to change\] are usually the ones who don’t see it coming. They can’t see over the horizon.”
- “If we work hard enough … we can get 60 votes for doing something that’s in everybody’s interest and is truly transformational.”
