BS or Ignorance ?

This is a quote from a recent speech of a former President of the United States of America, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. "The US needs to unleash “the greatest concentration of economic activity since we mobilised for World War II” by embracing new energy technology and regulatory incentives to tackle global warming, according to former US president Bill Clinton." This quote by our esteemed former President is either BS or ignorance. Let me explain. Suppose there was a major drought on going. What would you think of a quote like this? "We need to unleash a series of steady rain showers by embracing new weather modification technology encouraged by regulatory incentives to end this drought and prevent them in the future." Sounds pretty good, right? Never mind there is no regulatory incentive that can further encourage inventors to invent weather modification technology. Such technology would be so valuable the government would have a hard time stopping it from being invented, when such technology is feasible and possible. While the government can not cause the invention of beneficial technology,(except thru patent protection) it can easily prevent the invention of any beneficial technology. How? Regulations coupled with regulatory incentives! Are you starting to get the idea of how the orginal quote at the top of this post is bogus? Of course, we need new energy technology. I promise you thousands in the employ of major corporations and working independently are right now working on new energy technology. You could not get them to work faster or better except by strengthening patent protection so the small inventor does not get cheated. You could not get them to work faster or better because they stand to become rich for solving this problem. Regulatory incentives! Just get the government out of the way! So, the orginal quote, is it BS or ignorance? My opinion is that since he also threw in the part about fighting global warming, it is BS. That man made global warming is a fraud is now acknowledged by honest intelligent people who look into this problem. What say you? BS or ignorance?
