The article provides very little context nor independent evaluation of the administration statements.

The statement sounds like more foot dragging obfuscation and delay.

The article is more of a side story, since it contains only statements of the Bush administration representatives. Thus, it should be read within its limits.

This really emphasizes a contradictory state of things between talks and deeds. US, once the criticized, is now criticizing the slow pace of the rest of the world when it comes to green technologies. The green transition is hard indeed, but fact is the Bush administration committed only $ 2 billion in 3 years for this goal to be managed by a third party -- doesn't seem much of a solution to me.
