Photovoltaic Solar Energy to sell electricity
Bill Clinton, former U.S. president, on Thursday held the first meeting of the Global Initiative leading Your Name in New York with Bill Gates, Kofi Annan and others.
Question: Is there any contradiction between its objectives of economic growth and environmental protection?
Bill Clinton:
The answer that comes to mind is yes. But we must also say that it is possible to create wealth without destroying the environment. That's the big challenge. Worldwide, water reserves are diminishing, fertile soils erode and seed production shows a downward trend.
Therefore, one of the main purposes of my initiative is to find ways to turn environmental conservation in a way to achieve economic prosperity. Otherwise, the reaction of the people of China and India, for example, will be very negative. Perhaps they think that environmental conservation is a trap in the U.S. and Europe to prevent their countries' economic growth. For this reason, we encourage use of solar energy and wind energy, and help spread very productive farming techniques that help us conserve water and soil.
That way, people will understand that conservation is not going to become poor, but rich. Another beneficial consequence that raise the standard of living of the population is what the statistics: as countries get richer, reduces population growth.
