Travail contre speculation

L'argent oui, mais comme fruit du travail, pas de la spéculation. C'est en substance ce qu'a déclaré Nicolas Sarkozy hier mercredi à New York, à la veille du G20 où il doit plaider pour le plafonnement des bonus des traders.

Subcommittee Chairman Brian Baird (D-WA).

“Technology development and investment are only part of the solution to our energy problem,” said Baird. “The decisions each of us make every day have a significant impact on energy production and consumption. It is important that we understand why some technologies are more readily embraced than others.  And it is important that we know how to communicate effectively about the nature of our energy challenges and know how to empower individual citizens to participate in overcoming them.”

More than 20 environmental and advocacy groups--including Oxfam America, 1Sky, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth and Nature Conservancy--urged U.S. senators this week to dedicate billions of dollars in additional money to international adaptation and low-carbon technology efforts.

The groups sent a letter asking the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to initially dedicate 3% of future cap-and-trade allowances--estimated at about $2 billion per year--to assist developing nations in adapting to climate change. They also requested that 2%-- about $1.3 billion annually--be dedicated to research, development and deployment of energy technologies.
