Briefly, the experience I've had was when I was part of an expert panel that was asked to advise the Chinese government in 1990. During the first seven years, we suggested a reduction in subsidies to coal-fired plants, a renewable electricity policy and a greenhouse gas emissions capture policy. The Chinese weren't interested in that, but, as soon as we signed the Kyoto Protocol, they changed their mind because they realized they had to predict the direction the industrialized countries would take in terms of technologies. They figured that, one day or another, they would necessarily pay financial penalties if they continued to produce dirty energy.
For that reason, I'm in favour of the idea that we industrialized countries can now move forward. That's why I'm saying, when we talk about the dangers of proceeding with technological change, that I don't believe those dangers are that great.
