People are blind, they don't see the potential of technology
When will the large corporations of the world start to see Climate Change is a huge opportunity? Clean technologies can generate billions of dollars and save our blue planet in the same time. The debate around climate change, he has been getting it all wrong for some time, we know that the real problem is not just fossil fuels it is the logic of endless growth that is built into our economic system.
Today we have the clean technologies, we just need to add the good old greed to it and we have a running business model. Why do we have only 1800 hydrogen cars produced by Honda, Toyota and Hyundai in the world?
“Today, the technology does not allow us to transport 200 passengers on solar powered airplanes, but when Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic there was also no technology to fly 200 people across the ocean”
Critics claim we need to overcome the technical and economic challenges to implementing clean technologies. But is always the same story, we just need to scale of mass production to create an economic and sustainable production.
United Nation should focus and be far more active on this matter by promote technologies and industries like Tesla, but in the same time keeping control so the human greed doesn’t abuse new technologies like Montesano.
We could also stop using GDP to measure economic progress and replace it with a more thoughtful measure, one that accounts for the ecological and social impact of economic activity. Prominent economists like Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz have been calling for such changes for years and it’s time we listened.
Shouldn't we give our children a better chance?
