-Greenhouse gases are being addressed by Bush this week.
The president of the United States has called for a halt to growth of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. by 2005. Bush wants to develop national goals to address climate change.
Bush is attempting to address concerns that Congress could pass legislation which would effect economic growth and hopes to solve global warming without heavy costs to the industry.
Bush's proposal was part of efforts to oppose the Senate bill which would require mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions.
"... America's national plan will be a comprehensive blend of market incentives and regulations to reduce emissions by encouraging clean and efficient energy technologies," Bush said.
