【正文】 t undermine are clearly possibilities out British Petroleum has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions ten percent below 1990 levels and added $650 million value to the pany in the Dominican Republic, whose president will join us shortly, is hosting the development of a 12 megawatt wind energy facility with a potential for one ten times as large which can also serve the auto industry there already electric fuel vehicles and blended fuel vehicles available which get three times the mileage as History channel now on at lease two continents is dragging mobile solar generators, smallscale generators, on animal driven carts to remote villages to power a connection to its television network so learning can occur in places where schools are not available to young Congel, who39。s here from Syracuse, is trying to have the world’s biggest development, mercial development, powered entirely by clean energy over the next couple of library, which we just dedicated, reduced energy consumption by thirtyfour percent, with three hundred and eight solar panels made in California, with pl astic piping to carry hot and cold water to supplement traditional energy usage made in red state and a blue say that to make the point that this should not be a partisan a country like the United States or Europe, struggling with growth Japan who sustained a decade of no growth until the recent more encouraging signs。one of the big questions we have is how can we fulfill our responsibilities to create economic in poor countries and not to be protectionist and still generate more highpaying, twentyfirst century personal candidate is in clean energy is in clean energy and energy conservation jobs that we created in my library because we bought the solar panels and because we bought the underground heating and cooling with water through the piping and because of all the conservation technology we adoptedall made in America, are simply a tiny indication of what can be what are the problems? Well, the old energy economy that emits greenhouse gases and relies on imported oil is very well organized, very well financed and very well connected new energy economy is diffuse, entrepreneurial, under financed and by in large woefully under connected the transition energy economy, that is using natural gas as a bridging fuel, is often expensive in production and distribution and the financing must e from someone other than the consumers, particularly where the developing world is the other hand, there is a lot of reason to have NGOs doing wonderful work, as I Gore, who I talked to yesterday, wanted to be here but couldn’t because of scheduling conflict just set up set up a development fund to try to finance projects and prove we can make a profit by building a clean energy ’m convinced the biggest problem is the mind set which still dominates the decisions makers in the public and private the powerful example of British Petroleum, notwithstanding a lot of other examples which all of you know as well as I great French writer Victor Hugo once said there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has energy I think the slogan should be there is nothing more destructive than an idea whose time has e and gone and nobody will face up to interest in this issue began almost thirty years January of 1977, when I was a young attorney general attempting to prove we could conserve our way out of the need to build a very expensive new nuclear power plant to serve three states in the middleSouth ’m happy to say that the utility towards which I tilted, which is was then called Middle South now Energy has proved by its own example that a great deal can be done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in an economic that long ago I met one of our participants here, David Freeman, who was then head of the Tennessee valley authority then went to Los Angeles to run the local power at the tender age of somewhere north of seventyfive he decided he would start a new business in clean energy because he39。s always thinking about the the White House we increased conservation standards for appliances, greened the White House plex。helped to draft the Kyoto accord which with all it39。s flaws was still an important step。proposed the BTU tax which helped to get my head handed to me by the Congress。and finally for a measly cense increase in the gas tax probably lost the Congress in the 39。94 also proposed for three years running a twentyfive percent tax credit for the production and purchase of clean energy technology and energy conservation I used to joke to Newt Gingrich that I considered it to be one of the single achievements of my second term in office that I finally found a tax cut the Republicans would it created a new energy Senator Lieberman will be appearing on this panel, he and Senator McCain chair a bipartisan task force looking in to global long ago, Hillary went to northern Norway, inside the Arctic Circle, to the northern most village occupied in the world with a delegation of Republican senators to study the reality of global warming and climate think this is being a bipartisan issue in will say again it is a huge economic opportunity, it is a serious national security issue and if this country hopes to be recognized as a positive force we simply have to do more to address the issue of climate change in a way that promotes not undermines growth of developing countries in the it seems to me that these are the major issues that ought to be thank the panelists。there is an astonishing array of talent on these panels today and a lot of talent in this let39。s get on with the program and see what we can learn and you very much.第二篇：克林頓在總統(tǒng)圖書館發(fā)表致謝演講克林頓在總統(tǒng)圖書館發(fā)表致謝演講President Clinton“s Remarks at Library Dedication11月18日，美國第12個總統(tǒng)圖書館——克林頓圖書館正式向公眾開放，克林頓政府要員、前總統(tǒng)老布什和現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)小布什、演藝明星等人前往捧場，出席總人數(shù)估計達到了3萬人。該圖書館名為威廉杰斐遜克林頓總統(tǒng)中心，座落在美國前總統(tǒng)克林頓的家鄉(xiāng)美國中南部阿肯色州的小石城。按照美國政府的傳統(tǒng)，軍樂團奏起《向總統(tǒng)致敬》，克林頓在老布什、小布什和前總統(tǒng)卡特的陪同下走上臺。早些時候他們的夫人已經上臺。由于下著大雨，每人
