Obama agrees to work with Canada on clean energy
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090219/wl_canada_nm/canada_us_obama_canada_13

U.S. President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper were to agree plans on Thursday to work together on environmentally friendly energy technology, as both move forward to tackle climate change.

Obama arrived in Canada on his first international trip as president seeking to quell Canadian concerns about U.S. trade protectionism and discuss the global economic crisis and the war in Afghanistan.

The two leaders met for about half an hour privately before heading to lunch with top advisers at the Canadian parliament.

A White House official said the two countries would announce an agreement to cooperate on "clean energy" technology that Obama said this week would let both countries use fossil fuels such as oil and coal while generating less pollution.

"It will include elements like carbon capture and sequestration and the smart grid," the White House official said of the agreement.
