AS I LISTENED TO BILL CLINTON DELIVER THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT THE RECENT GREENBUILD CONFERENCE

摘要

While Nucor under DiMicco has been a huge proponent of a strong and sustainable environment (and has some notable green success stories), DiMicco is a huge opponent of the Kyoto Protocol. As I understand his objection, the problem with Kyoto is it has the effect of increasing the cost of U.S. manufacturing. As a result, a certain percentage of U.S. manufacturing will move offshore to places like China, where the factories produce more than nine times as much pollution. Therefore, in an interesting twist, the net result of Kyoto is not just a drain on the U.S. economy, but also a net increase in carbon emissions worldwide.
