【正文】 met one of our participants here, David Freeman, who was then head of the Tennessee valley authority then went to Los Angeles to run the local power at the tender age of somewhere north of seventyfive he decided he would start a new business in clean energy because he39。a little over twenty percent of the world’s GDP and emits about twenty five percent of the world’s greenhouse a third of those gases are emitted from transportation sources, a third from domestic and mercial buildings and a third from manufacturing and power also are now importing over half of our oil, about a fifty percent increase from fifteen years ago, seventy percent of that goes to question that I would like to see us all focus on today is how can we respond to both issues, for the United States and for the world, including the developing is how can we reduce our plete dependence on imported oil and how can we respond appropriately to global example, if Americans were to increase oil production in Anwar, for example, we could add to our supply about seven months worth of oil but it wouldn’t change our fundamental and destructive approach to green house gas America were to rely more on the supply more on clean energy and conservation but we did it in an ineffective way it wouldn’t meet our energy needs and therefore would quickly want us to talk about what the real options are: How important is natural gas as a bridging energy source, which emits fewer greenhouse real is clean coal technology? We’re today seeing in America not insubstantial amount of carbon dioxide from coal usage being stored in oil wells, the Norwegians are trying to store it in deepsea much confidence do we have in clean coal technology? How much more needs to be done before we know that these carbon dioxide gases can actually be stored deep underground without being eventually released with adverse there be dramatically greater efficiency in electricity transmissions with the use of digital technologies and power is the potential for greater production of clean fuels: biomass, hydrogen, electricity, mixed fuel for transport, wind and a large and a small is potential for greater conservation? Why can’t we make lighter cars from posite materials that would be equally safe and use much less fuel? What else can be done in buildings and in manufacturing? What is the role of government in the Untied States and wealthy countries, any wealthy country, to develop cap and trade systems on carbon dioxide invest appropriately in research and development, to provide tax incentives to create new markets to produce and purchase clean energy and energy conservation are the special problems of the developing nations? The world’s poorer will be hurt most by climate change, yet they are largely governed by people who believe, based on the American model, that the only way to create wealth and stay wealthy and get wealthier is to pour more greenhouse gases into the a result within a couple of decades China and India will be emitting even more greenhouse gases than the United States, unless they and people in other developing countries can be shown a way to avoid the energy patterns of American development and European development in a way that generates wealth jobs and doesn’t undermine are clearly possibilities out British Petroleum has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions ten percent below 1990 levels and added $650 million value to the pany in the Dominican Republic, whose president will join us shortly, is hosting the development of a 12 megawatt wind energy facility with a potential for one ten times as large which can also serve the auto industry there already electric fuel vehicles and blended fuel vehicles available which get three times the mileage as History channel now on at lease two continents is dragging mobile solar generators, smallscale generators, on animal driven carts to remote villages to power a connection to its television network so learning can occur in places where schools are not available to young Congel, who39。d like to thank my good friend John Sexton, his wife Lisa and all the people at NYU who have made us feel wele here three years 39。第一篇：克林頓在克林頓總統(tǒng)基金會論壇能源會議開幕演講克林頓在克林頓總統(tǒng)基金會論壇能源會議開幕演講 Bill Clinton39。s Opening Remarks at Energy ConferenceDecember 6, 2004 New York UniversityThe Third Annual William Presidential Foundation Forum New Thinking on Energy Policy: Meeting the Challenges of Security, Development and Climate Change Thank you, good morning and wele to the third annual Clinton Foundation forum at 39。d also like to thank the other donors for this year’s forum to whom we owe a great deal of gratitude: Jim and Wendy Abrams, Nadine Schramm the president of Budd enterprises, Tommy Short and founder Tommy Short Charitable foundation and the chairman of the Earth Council Foundation and the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Science at Duke want to thank the NGOs who have set up booths out in the foyer particularly to emphasize the importance of this issues we will discuss today to the developing hope all of you will have a chance to stop by and get information on all the great work these organizations are meeting is well timed, not only because we have just e through a period of fiftydollar oil but because of other important events taking place involving energy and the direction of energy policy in our country the American council on renewable energy is convening a meeting of 500 people in Washington called Renewable Energy(Phase two).In conjunction with the renewable energy and efficiency caucuses of the House and the the December 8th, The National Commission on Energy policy, a bipartisan group of energy experts from environment, labor, and consumer groups of which Jon Holdren one of today’s panelists is a cochair is releasing an integrated energy strategy which is two years in the making to help Congress develop a national us, in the United States, the focus on energy is highly important at this
