...that a policy of regulation--so successful in combatting past pollution problems like acid rain--simply won't be enough for global warming. The scale of the climate crisis is too vast, and the world's growth too rapid. What's needed is technological innovation, green solutions as yet undreamt of, to utterly remake the way people use energy. Masdar's crash greening may be the future. "This is real, and it shows that they are thinking ahead in a constructive way," says Nicholas Stern, an influential British economist and advocate for action on climate change.
