"Mr President, I suppose one could say that those of us who are still here at this hour of the night are probably powered by some form of renewable energy, perhaps solar power or maybe even divine power in the form of a halo above our heads.
Either way, the discussion has been very varied, and not surprisingly, because this is always a contentious issue. But I think the Commissioner got the balance right, probably better than most of us, in terms of where we are going and what needs to be done in the future. I think a few points need to be made more precise. Whether countries are in the developing world or the developed world, if they have resources of fossil fuel – coal – or nuclear energy, they are going to utilise them. The question is: do we finance them or do we not? Obviously in Europe, in terms of Cancún, Kyoto, etc. we want to push the renewable agenda, and that is absolutely correct. But I think in doing that, Mr Martin is probably right in one sense that we need to speak with a louder voice and push the World Bank into promoting and financing more renewable energy projects than they are perhaps doing right now."@en1
