"Even so, if Mr Bush is to burnish his green credentials, he needs to do more to turn fine visions into practical actions. He has given a glimpse of the right strategy...He is spot on in denouncing an overly centralised approach to greenery, and in pushing instead for market-based solutions. The success of pollution taxes in Europe and of emissions-trading systems for sulphur dioxide in America show that these are a far better way of encouraging innovation than technology mandates or direct subsidies."
