By Richard Armitage and Joseph S. Nye, Sultan of Oman Professor of International Relations
"...security threats are no longer simply military threats. China is building two coal-fired power plants each week. U.S. hard power will do little to curb this trend, but U.S.-developed technology can make Chinese coal cleaner, which helps the environment and opens new markets for American industry
