Aujourd’hui se tient à l’ONU le sommet mondial sur le changement climatique. En ouverture le gouverneur de Californie, parmi d’autres personnalités, a été invité à prendre la parole. Le choix se justifie. Qui mieux que lui (Californie) peut montrer que le défi planétaire du changement climatique présente aussi des opportunités de développement
Extrait de son discours:
“The aerospace industry built the modern economy of Southern California. The computer industry and the internet built the economy of Silicon Valley.
And now green, clean technology— along with biotech—will take California to the next level.
Right now, in California, the brightest scientists from around the world and the smartest venture capitalists are racing to find new energy technologies . . . and the solutions to global warming.
It’s a race fueled by billions of dollars. Last year alone, California received more than $1.1 billion in clean tech investment.
This amount is expected to grow 2030% a year for a decade. More venture capital is being
invested in clean tech than in telecommunications.”
