america because as an immigrant i think i i have a dual perspective i see america from the inside a grown up here i went to college here but i also retain a little bit of that outsider feeling of america in which i'm always comparing america to other cultures to the rest of the world and i think that dual perspective informs all my writing and the idea of a world without her would would leave the world well we have a tremendous space between the oceans well you're right let me go pacific would be a giant the indian ocean there are different ways for america not to exist so if a meteorite hit the continent and vaporized into ours and years ago there would be no america but here is another way if a british neighbor had shot george washington and the american revolution had gone down there would be america the land mass there be people here but we wouldn't have an american revolution in. constitution this america would not exist began it would be canada or if hitler got the atomic bomb remember hitler had the most sophisticated bomb project under vernon isenberg he would have dropped it and america would not be the way it is now so the reason i'm asking these questions is i'm thinking fo

america is the force for progress, a force for peace. the world is fortunate that america continues to lead it. 60 years ago, america looked to the moon toscover a distant land. today, the united states is leading a major scientific effort to reveal the secrets of the mind. we are partners in that effort. may i say that, in my judgment, there may be more to discover in the brain than in the moon.

america would face would be not so much the threat of foreign nations but rather the growing enmity, the enemies he that was growing among america the tendency to regard americans as enemies. the issue of slavery of course being the greatest of the causes of the pretexts for that but realizing that as george washington that there were many causes or occasions for strife among our own people. of course george washington had pointed out, he had experienced that american's divisions over foreign affairs were a major cause of this loss, this always potentially fatal loss of friendship among the american people. and so abraham lincoln's policy, domestic and foreign policy regarding peace and for always was aimed primarily at safeguarding and then somehow restoring this friendship among the american people. of course he faced that problem in the worst of circumstances when in fact doing so required defeating the one part of the american polity which had taken arms against the other and yet, and yet we see especially from the second and not girl that abraham lincoln aimed above all at the unity of the country as restoring that friendship. unfortunately for america the people who governed america after lincoln's death engaged in a very different policy, one which can best be described as america's first venture in nation-building, remaking the defeated south, first of all considering the defeated south as the defeated nation which lincoln who was absolutely loath and then reshaping it according to some thought some ideal or at least that her way of life. that of course turned into an occasion for continuing violence and continuing ill feeling among americans. ill feeling which lasted 100 years and which some in our time are attempting to revive for the very same reason why the republicans of the 1860s and 70's indulged for their own political advantage and for their own self-image. nevertheless the priority of domestic peace returned to america albeit slowly. until it was put in jeopardy in our own century or i would say the 20th century, by woodrow wilson's adoption of the notion that really as he said in his address of february second, 1917 th

america tonight, we're revolutionary because we're going back to doing best of storytelling. we have an ouportunity to really reach out and really talk to voices that we haven't heard before... i think al jazeera america is a watershed moment for american journalism you. >> welcome book inside story. i'm ray suarez. coil-fired power plants are the single largest source of power for the united states. exempting existing plants from the more strenuous standards with this latest proposal the epa is including existing plants giving them new targets by 2030 would be impossible without including them. mark morano, when we talk about coal, in west indies, a major coal producer and user for its own energy mix saying the hidden reason for this is to kill coal. while we heard the epa administrator talk about an all of the above strategy that includes coal. >> this is an epa regulation. these regulations are announced as one thing and they'll continually evolve, change and likely expand as you go through court cases, go through future administrations. if this is allowed to be implemented, and the next president goes through with it, whatever we're talking about today won't be relevant. they're going to change all these goals, these standards. the argument here that $50 billion and a quarter million jobs lost because of these standards. it's hard to have an accurate number because we don't know the future. plus each state may have energy mixes. every state is going to be u uneven. ultimately this is a time planned by the united states government at a time when spain is walking away. at a time when germany is pore dependent on power, and australia weakened away from these reductions. so the united states is committing itself to something that the rest of the world is probably scratching their head at this point. again, it's not going to achieve anything for the climate. it won't achieve global co 2, reduction. it's pure symbol iism. this is not an insurance boil against policy of lower levels. >> put it that way, if you lose a job from one cause you never will get another one from another. is he assuming that technology is static, unless we use the machines we already have today we won't invent new ones that burn coal more cleanly or scrubbers to put on stacks over things that use come bucs in a more virtue way i mean, is he thinking about a static universituniverse here. >> it's not one that i recognize. if you look at the history of air pollution regulation it's spurred innovation. the real surprise years down the road is how these opportunities are met. you save lives and money and it's a win-win that is one important sector that they tackle. really it's ban better thing to be more efficient and more competitive part of the world. >> at a time when the clean air act has been promulgated, have we not seen predictions of what the effect is going to be? have we managed? briefly did we manage? >> we did, but correlation is not causation. just because you passed regulations and we had radical improvement in water quality we had radical water technological improvement which happened. the coal plants are radically changed. not everything can be regulated. the anti-thesis of innovation is to have a government unelected bureaucracy like the epa dictating energy policy and a president on record who said he wanted electricity prices not to necessarily skyrocket. and saying one of the hazards of a free society is having energy too cheap and in auburn dance. he talked about it with contempt. this is an administration that is driven by ideology. it's not science. why would we make these sciences? why would we turn over our innovation, creativity, business and technology to the dictates and women's of the environmental protection agency who can do pretty much whatever the hell it wants to as we go forward here. >> when we come back we have to talk more about what happens inside marketplaces for anything when you change the regulatory environment that they live in. stay with us. saturday on techknow. the earthquake business, it's similar to the weather business. understanding our earth. but everything happens faster. limiting disaster. these are the guts of the early warning system. saving lives. having 30 seconds of advanced warning is like a lifetime. techknow, every saturday go where science meets humanity. this is some of the best driving i've ever done, even thought i can't see. techknow. we're here in the vortex. saturday, 7:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. america mobile app, available for your apple and android mobile device. download it now >> welcome back to inside story. i'm ray suarez. we're talking about the new emissions standards issued by the environmental protection agency in some of the swift andage stated reaction is some of the swift and agitated reaction a symptom of the can't-do spirit in the 21st century america. are w 2030 is a long way off. if electricity were more expensive 16 years from now would we also use it differently? better, more efficiently, get more bang from the same burn? sue, you heard mark give a brief on whether this made any sense. otherwise. >> i don't know how to respond to mark because it provides a dismal outlook for the united states. the history of the united states has been that we have innovated time and time again in response to having goals set by government. especially in this area one of the amazing parts of the clean air act is that it allows for tremendous innovation as a way to get--to
