Although President George W. Bush says he believes in markets, in this case he has called for voluntary action. But it makes far more sense to use the force of markets – the power of incentives – than to rely on goodwill, especially when it comes to oil companies that regard their sole objective as maximizing profits, regardless of the cost to others.
虽然布什总统声称他相信市场的作用，但在这一问题上他还是呼吁自发的行动。但更为明智的做法的利用市场的力量—激励机制的力量—而不是依靠善意，特别是当情况涉及那些将利益最大化作为唯一目标而不顾其行为对他人的影响的石油公司。
