Environment Chief says US must lead the world on clean technology

In an interview with Associated Press, Jackson made bold statements on the need for the United States to shift the American mindset and commit to taking a leading role in curbing its own pollution and assist impoverished nations in dealing with the inevitable effects of climate change.
Strong words on the issue of renewable technology and greenhouse gas redcutions have become commonplace amongst leaders in the Obama administration.
