Mr Bush said he would resist measures that were similar to the 1997 UN Kyoto Protocol, involving legally binding reductions on carbon emissions, which Washington never ratified.
"If this looks like Kyoto, the answer is no," he (Bush) said in an interview with ITV's Tonight With Trevor McDonald programme to be broadcast on Monday.
"The Kyoto treaty would have wrecked our economy, if I can be blunt."

In other words, if Americans begin using motors based on solar power, hydrogen or cooking oil, how can I and my oil company cartel buddies get ever richer?
The government gives grants to select universities to study and develop hydrogen power. This is the part they tout and want you to see.
What you don't see or hear about is the men in the black suits who later visit those same universities and threaten to remove the funding and make life generally uncomfortable for the professors and the schools if they don't slow down development and/or keep any progress quiet. That is the dirty little secret no one is supposed to know.
Our government is a sham and a scam. I feel that hydrogen power is ready to be used along with a myriad of other non-petroleum based fuels.
Kudos to the brave souls who have the courage to publicize their alternatives. And I am tickled to see links to many of these alternatives linked to at this site. "The truth is out there"...
