【大統領選、科学政策】
●The Presidential Candidates' 2nd Debate: 'These Are the
Differences'
New York Times October 8, 2004

▼10月8日ワシントン大学セントルイス校で行われた第二回ブッシュ&ケリーのディ
ベート記録。今回は科学政策についても論じられ、一般市民からも大きな反響があっ
た。ブッシュ「私はバランスを取りながら、大統領として最善を尽くしている」、ケ
リー「私は科学を信じる大統領になる」という2人の決まり文句が、それぞれのスタ
ンスを象徴しているかのよう。大統領選投票日まで、ひと月を切った。
▼環境問題に関してのやりとり:
Mr. Bush: We've got a good common-sense policy. Now I'm
going to tell you what I really think is going to happen
over time is technology is going to change the way we live
for the good for the environment. That's why I proposed a
hydrogen automobile, hydrogen-generated automobile. We're
spending $1 billion to come up with the technologies to do
that. That's why I'm a big proponent of clean coal
technology, to make sure we can use coal, but in a clean
way.
I guess you'd say I'm a good steward of the land. The
quality of the air is cleaner since I've been the
president. Fewer water complaints since I've been the
president. More land being restored since I've been the
president. Thank you for your question.
Mr. Kerry: We're going backward. In fact, his
environmental enforcement chief air-quality person at the
E.P.A. resigned in protest over what they're doing to what
are called the "new source performance standards" for air
quality. They're going backward on the definition for
wetlands. We're going backward on the water quality. They
pulled out of the global warming, declared it dead, didn't
even accept the science.
I'm going to be a president who believes in science.
▼京都議定書に関してのやりとり:
Mr. Bush Well, had we joined the Kyoto treaty, which I
guess he's referring to, it would have cost America a lot
of jobs. It's one of these deals where in order to be
popular in the halls of Europe, you sign a treaty. But I
thought it would cost a lot of - - I think there's a
better was to do it. And I just told you the facts, sir.
Mr. Kerry ... free ourselves from this dependency on
Mideast oil. That's how you create jobs and become
competitive.
