The United States has developed many new low-carbon energy technologies, but other countries are currently far more intent, far-sighted, and decisive than the US to put these technologies to large-scale use. Politically, America is still the land of Big Oil.
美国已开发出许多新的低碳能源技术，但其他国家大规模使用这些技术的目标、远见和决心要远强于美国。从政治上说，美国仍是石油巨头的国度。美国人整天受到行业资助的媒体的狂轰滥炸，淡化气候变化问题，而化石燃料比美国匮乏得多的国家一开始着手进行迈向低碳未来的必要转型。
