Mickael Gorbachev is someone who has made his legacy a long time ago. As the person who most influenced the lead out of the USSR into the current federation of independant countries that used to comprise the old Soviet regime, he has shown his ability to see the future and take action.
So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I read today that he is calling on the G8 to create a $50Billion fund to help fund solar power across the world.
When you consider how much government subsidy has gone into hydro, nuclear and oil, the call from a leader to the world governments is only to actually even up the playing field. The other technologies are things of the past if solar is funded to the same extent. Not only is it renewable, it can last forever.
Let’s see which government takes him up on his call. Now imagine if Bill Clinton would join him? Two former leaders of the most powerful governments in the world calling for more funding for solar. One must dream big…
