go ahead and remove your oil burning engine form your car, and replace it with an electric motor, powered by a wind turbine on the roof. ;)

Amusing. Like most politicians, it's not shocking to see a candidate make a major policy position flip flop or evolve like this (which term depends on whether or not you support the candidate) according to his financial support. :) .
