US President George W Bush on Wednesday unveiled principles for arresting greenhouse gas emissions, months before he leaves office and ahead of a congressional debate on more ambitious goals. Here are the highlights of Bush's announcement: - halt the growth of carbon-dioxide emissions by 2025. - oppose raising taxes, abandoning nuclear power and coal reserves, or imposing trade barriers as ways to reach the goal. - promote electricity production from coal that does not release carbon dioxide.
