U.S. working with China on clean energy plan

U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said that he has been collaborating with the Chinese for a long-term plan to promote efficient energy. “One of the things I am going to be focusing on very heavily in the remaining nine months I have is working with China on this 10-year framework,” Paulson said. “We’re putting together a plan to do with energy and climate, and efficient uses of energy, and alternative uses of energy, and working also around the world with this clean technology fund,” he said, referring to a push to generate incentives to boost clean energy technology.
