(OPEN):
AS THE CLIMATE-CHANGE CONFERENCE IN COPENHAGEN GETS UNDER WAY,
HOWARD CLABO ["CLAY-BEAU"] OF APPLIED MATERIALS
IS URGING AMERICANS TO REMEMBER THAT PROMOTING CLEAN AND SUSTAINABLE
ENERGY IS A LONG-TERM GOAL...
(CLABO):
"THE GLOBAL ENERGY-RACE IS WELL UNDER WAY, IN COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA
AND INDIA--AND ACROSS EUROPE. THESE COUNTRIES RECOGNIZE THAT
GOVERNMENT-POLICIES ARE THE KEY TO MAKING RENEWABLE ENERGY A REALITY.
IF WE WANT TO WIN, THE U-S NEEDS POLICIES THAT WILL ENCOURAGE
LARGE-SCALE DEPLOYMENT OF RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIES--LIKE SOLAR.
POLICIES LIKE A RENEWABLE-ELECTRICITY STANDARD--AND PUTTING A PRICE ON
CARBON, TO ACCOUNT FOR THE REAL COST OF FOSSIL-FUEL-BASED ENERGY--ARE
KEY. BY SETTING POLICIES WITH LONG-TERM, AMBITIOUS GOALS, THE U-S
CAN ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATIONAL-SECURITY GAINS.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE CAN FOSTER CLEAN-TECH INDUSTRIES THAT ARE GONNA
[SIC] BE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FUTURE ECONOMY--AND ONE OF THE
GREATEST CREATORS OF JOBS IN THIS CENTURY. THE RACE TOWARDS A
CLEAN, SUSTAINABLE ENERGY-FUTURE IS A MARATHON--NOT A SPRINT. AND,
WE SHOULDN'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE FINISH-LINE--AND HOW HISTORY WILL
REMEMBER THE WINNERS."
