We’re today seeing in America not insubstantial amount of carbon dioxide from coal usage being stored in oil wells, the Norwegians are trying to store it in deepsea much confidence do we have in clean coal technology? How much more needs to be done before we know that these carbon dioxide gases can actually be stored deep underground without being eventually released with adverse there be dramatically greater efficiency in electricity transmissions with the use of digital technologies and power is the potential for greater production of clean fuels: biomass, hydrogen, electricity, mixed fuel for transport, wind and a large and a small is potential for greater conservation? Why can’t we make lighter cars from posite materials that would be equally safe and use much less fuel? What else can be done in buildings and in manufacturing? What is the role of government in the Untied States and wealthy countries, any wealthy country, to develop cap and trade systems on carbon dioxide invest appropriately in research and development, to provide tax incentives to create new markets to produce and purchase clean energy and energy conservation are the special problems of the developing nations? The world’s poorer will be hurt most by climate change, yet they are largely governed by people who believe, based on the American model, that the only way to create wealth and stay wealthy and get wealthier is to pour more greenhouse gases into the a result within a couple of decades China and India will be emitting even more greenhouse gases than the United States, unless they and people in other developing countries can be shown a way to avoid the energy patterns of American development and European development in a way that generates wealth jobs and doesn’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, smal
