発災後しばらくして、ＡＦＮでこの討論番組を再放送でやってるのをたまたま聞いてんだが
日本ではクリーン・エネルギーに原発は当然のように含んで語ってるけれど
アメリカではそうではなく、その定義も議論の対象にしてる・・・
日本の喧騒議論から離れてみて考えたい向きの人にとっては、
”CAN CLEAN ENERGY DRIVE ＴＨＥ ECONOMIC RECOVERY ?"の議論に
おおよその事は詰まってるから、一度目を通してみることをお勧めする
Kassia Yanosek:
Sure. Well, I think that, you know, first of all, we're going to have to define what clean
energy is. Clean energy is not just wind and solar, which I agree makes up a very small
portion, less than eight percent, of our global, of our U.S. power generation. We have to
include cleaner sources, cleaner ways to develop and produce energy that's being
produced from coal, and natural gas, and nuclear. So when we talk about clean energy
and the opportunity for economic growth we're not just limiting ourselves to renewables
here.
