"$20 billion by 2020"
The Pentagon will spend 150 times this by 2020.
It sounds like they're taking this climate change very seriously...

If they want to "waste" their own money trying to save the planet god bless them.
> According to the Washington Post, the 19 countries that have already joined Mission Innovation will increase their annual spending on clean-energy research and development to $20 billion by 2020.
I believe odzhan was trying to show that 20 billion dollars between 19 countries still isn't that significant when compared to other budgets.
No matter how much Obama wanted to increase spending on clean energy, he simply doesn't have the power to move a huge amount of money.
