Obama was not specific about the "chunks" of policies he would pursue, we can most likely expect bite-size bills on electric cars, natural gas trucks and utility carbon caps.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Obama reiterated the importance of an energy policy that addresses the nation’s overreliance on fossil fuels.

Planet Green Wins at the Emmys
When it comes to raising awareness on the environment, no one does it better than Planet Green. The network recently won two News and Documentary Emmy awards for their efforts.
And the Emmys went to: The Last Beekeeper—which follows the lives of three beekeepers across the US as they deal with Colony Collapse Disorder; and Split Estate—which focuses on citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West who struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties and their health.
