Public Sticky notes
Industrialised nations are responsible for the bulk of greenhouse
gas emissions - both today and historically. In the past, economic
progress was linked directly to carbon dioxide emissions (via the
burning of oil, coal and gas to generate energy). Renewable energy
sources change this, but only a small number of nations have begun to
implement them in earnest.

Two billion people – one third of the world's population –
have no access to electricity for basic needs such as lighting or
cooking. Getting people the clean and reliable energy necessary for
essential needs such as clean water, health care facilities, heating
and lighting is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity
today.

Industrialised nations have the capital, resources and expertise to
jump-start their renewable energy industries. Obviously, countries with
advanced space programs, established higher educational systems and
abundant cash for investment are better positioned to implement these
new energy technologies then countries still struggling with basic
energy needs.
