Here's one way the U.S.A. is going to achieve clean air, and energy efficiency. My American cousins are fortunate in the sense that the U.S.A. voted in a president that at least knows which end of a pipewrench to hold, or what a ditch witch is.

The uncanny ability of Americans to choose the right person for the right job at the right time, throughout their history as a nation should go a long way in ensuring the goals of a balanced cleaner environment, with increased energy efficiency, and at the same time maintaining a quality lifestyle that the majority of Americans expect.
