China Daily | Updated: 2008-02-16 07:09

"We are clearly on the edge," Greenspan told a group of energy-industry executives at the Cambridge Energy Research Associates' 27th annual CERAWeek conference in Houston. He reiterated comments from last month that the odds of an economic contraction are "50 percent or better".
