What role do China and India play in the climate change debate?
• Huge segments of the population in the developing world live without the benefits of electricity now. In the effort to improve quality of life for its citizens, China will be using its huge indigenous reserves of coal. Unless a country like the United States develops clean coal technologies and makes it possible for developing countries to use them, other efforts here in the U.S. will continue to be dwarfed on the international level.
