If one form of energy becomes the cheapest, most secure, and cleanest, you’d probably adjust your economy to use more of it, right?

这正是国际能源署上周发布的关于全球电气化趋势报告所基于的核心观点之一。次日,国际能源署署长法提赫·比罗尔在联合国会议上也谈到了报告中的部分内容。

That’s one of the ideas underpinning a report the International Energy Agency issued last week about the global move toward electrification. Fatih Birol, head of the IEA, discussed some of the concepts from the report the following day at the United Nations.

他问道:"多年来,能源领域的决策者始终面临三个选择:该选最安全的能源方案呢?还是最经济的方案?又或者是最清洁的方案?我们必须做出抉择、必须权衡利弊。但如今放眼全球,这些目标多年来首次实现了统一。"}</|extra|>{

“Many, many years in the energy world, we had three choices in front of us. Shall I choose the most secure energy option? Shall I choose the most economic energy option? Or shall I choose the cleanest energy option?” he asked. “We have to make choices, we have to make trade-offs but when we look at the world today, for the first time in years, all of these three objectives are getting aligned.”
