particularly countries in Asia such as China and India, will
dramatically increase their consumption of electricity, and low
quality coal will be a major source of fuel for power
generation.

resultant pollution will cause enormous health and
environmental problems leading to diminished economic growth in
developing countries and, thus, diminished United States
exports to those growing markets.

promote the export of United States clean coal technology. In
furtherance of that policy, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of
the Treasury (acting through the United States executive directors to

Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development

States clean coal technology in environmental and energy infrastructure
