Mmhmm... member this???
So thats what we want to do on global warming here in the United States.
“We are also, though, going have to negotiate with other countries. China, India, in particular Brazil. They are growing so fast that they are consuming more and more energy, and pretty soon, if their carpet footprint even approaches ours, were goners. Thats part of the reason why weve got to make the investment; weve got to lead by example. If we lead by example if we lead by example, then we can actually export and license technology that have been invented here to help them deal with their growth pain. But keep in mind, youre right. We cant tell them, dont grow. We cant drive our SUVs and you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on you know, 72 degrees at all times, and whether were living in the desert or were living in the tundra, and then just expect that every other countrys going say OK.
You guys go ahead and keep on using 25 percent of the worlds energy. Even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and well be fine. Dont worry about us. Thats not thats not leadership. Thats not going to happen.”
