"The development and implementation of low-carbon technologies is extremely important not only for environmental reasons – which include the need to reduce atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide – but also for energy reasons, considering the inevitable gradual shortage and eventual depletion of fossil fuel reserves, on which humanity is highly dependent.
Unfortunately, both the SET Plan and the resolution just adopted, do not just offer an incomplete approach to the problem – both in terms of the technologies and energy sources to be considered, and of the necessity to reduce consumption – but, above all, they still consider this investment as another good business opportunity (in which some, a select few, will earn a great deal, to the detriment of many) rather than an environmental and energetic imperative to safeguard the common good of humanity.
It is significant and revealing that in the vote on the amendments to the resolution, instead of promoting ‘ambitious reduction targets’ of atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions, the choice was made ‘to promote world-wide carbon emission trading’."@en1
