Gosh, I guess everything's OK then, huh Tony? :eyes:
The Bush administration cares about the environment, but wants to find ways to clean it without harming the economy, the White House said Thursday. "The President does care about the environment, has been active and aggressive on it, and has been talking with European allies about such things as clean coal technology, about renewable fuels, biofuels," Press Secretary Tony Snow said during a news briefing.
Through innovation and market forces, "we will encourage every development we possibly can," Snow said, adding that incentives are available for businesses to act in a green manner.
Regarding the Kyoto Protocol on emissions reduction, Snow said the administration saw as a weakness the absence of "key consumers of carbon products." As a result, progress made in one area of the world may be undermined by development elsewhere.
Snow said the United States is aggressive in addressing emission problems outlined in the protocol. Only Australia and the United States have not signed the Kyoto Protocol.
