Thought I'd share this nice presentation from Fatih Birol, Chief
Economist of the IEA. Provides a great update on the energy situation
and the impacts of financial crisis on clean tech.
Food for thought: Birol says that in order to stabilise at 450ppm,
half of the current global wind capacity needs to be additionally
built EVERY year, and 20 new nuclear power stations (or presumably
replacing coal fire stations with CCS) needs to be built EVERY year,
until 2030 I think. That is some pretty scary stat.
