I have to stop you for a minute. I can't believe you are not thinking about this. If a country says that, and they're still plowing their fields with oxen, that's one thing, but when they are cranking out all types of products, especially products that demand high-carbon fuels....
I didn't tell you the story about the wind turbines. This was way back when wind turbines were just getting popular. We walked through a plant that was so big that we had to take a bus on the way back. They weren't producing all those for China; I can guarantee you that. They were absolutely state of the art.
I am not suggesting that we shouldn't be reducing our carbon footprint, but is the Foreign Affairs department at least examining the possibility that we are being duped, and as a result we cannot compete in some of these areas?
