　　ABB demonstrates what we say is true.

貝樂爺演講實錄(2)

　　ABB shares that spirit with us in a fantastic way. Basically you are demonstrating that what we say is true. Because what do we say?

　　We say: clean technologies can make a better quality of life; clean technologies are like the one who allows this airplane to fly around the world with no fuel; these technologies can be used everywhere.

　　And if you make a quick calculation, you see that already today, with the technologies available, we can divide by two the energy consumption of the world, and divide by two the CO2 emissions by replacing all the polluting technologies with new clean technologies. This would be possible, very practically speaking! But if I say it like this, people don’t believe me: I need proofs!

　　ABB proves that the world can be more energy efficient.

　　So one proof is Solar Impulse: the people of course understand it is an adventure, it's an experience, it's not the commercial application.

　　But ABB does the commercial applications that demonstrate that it's possible.

　　The energy efficiency that you introduce in your products, and the result on the quality of life of people is extraordinary. When you see the equivalent of millions of households who are saved, energy saved, by your type of products: for example the DC high voltage transport of electricity.

　　I remember when people said it will never work, and now you do it. The converters, electrical motors, you are living proof that the world can be more energy efficient.

　　We share that with other partners, like Schindler, the elevators, we work a lot together to make lighter structures, more efficient systems, and now people start to buy Schindler elevators because it is cheaper to use due to the energy saving.

　　And this brings to such an important point: it is not only about protecting the environment, it is also making business, it is also creating jobs, it is also making profits, it is also developing and assisting in growth of the industry, but in a clean way: this is what the world needs.

　　Saving energy is more important than producing more.

　　So you see what we stand for with Solar Impulse. It is pioneering spirit, building an airplane that is so energy efficient that it becomes an example for the world on how to make the future and which type of product can be used to save energy. And saving energy is more important than producing more energy.

　　You know, as a metaphor, I believe that human beings today are like in the bathtub, and there is a leak in the bathtub. And instead of solving the leak, they open the tap wide open to add water in the bathtub. So each time we speak of energy you hear people saying we have to produce more. It is not by producing more that we will save the planet, and it is not by producing more that we will make more profit. The best profit, it will be energy saving technologies, the one that divides by two the energy consumption of the world. And here we bring solutions to climate change.

　　When you hear all the Heads of States in the United Nation's conferences saying: "we have a big problem", "the climate is changing", "we have to reduce the height of temperature", "we have to reduce the height of sea-level." They only speak of problems, we never motivate people when we speak of problems, we motivate people when we speak of solutions.

　　Clean technologies are solutions.

　　Clean technologies are solutions. Clean energy are solutions. What you do are solutions. And this is why I have a profound respect and admiration for what you're doing. And this is why I am always proud to carry the ABB logo, because it is the sprit that we share.

　　Your CEO, Ulrich Spiesshofer, is a visionary. When we met, we immediately expressed wish to work together. And the result is this flight around the world with Solar Impulse exists.

　　Solar Impulse 2 arrived in China!

　　So we started from Abu Dhabi on the 9th of March, first leg to Muscat, second leg to Ahmedabad, then Varanasi, Mandalay in Myanmar, then Chongqing.

　　We arrived in Chongqing and that was fantastic. Arriving in China. Can you imagine? The biggest country in the world and we arrived in a Solar airplane with all the permissions, and we needed a lot of special permissions. But we got them all. Very good relationship between Switzerland and the Chinese authorities.

　　When I heard the air-traffic controller from Kunming saying “Kunming Control calling Solar Impulse” I said: “Wow, I am in China”, and then I could change the badge that I had Myanmar and I could put China on and continue the flight.

　　Wow. This is a country that knows how much we need clean technologies. And China is already first in solar power, first in wind energy, and it will soon, I believe, be first in clean technologies. So, I know there is a big receptivity, big listening to this type of message here in China, and it is really a pleasure to be able to share all this with you.

　　For a clean future, you can be part of it!

　　But, I also have a request for you: it’s too easy to be sitting in your arm chair and listen to me, you have to work a bit for that, you have to do more than that.

　　We have our big campaign—big action—which is called Future is Clean and we are trying to have the highest number of people as possible in every country to support this action, to support Future is Clean, to put their voice and say: “yes, I believe we need more clean technologies in the world”, and with the number of people in China, maybe China can be the country who brings the most support for this action.

　　And can you imagine what would be the reaction of the rest of the world? Because the rest of the world is always saying: “oh China is having too much pollution.”

　　No. We can say: "wait, China is the country who brought the highest number of voices to support clean technology." That would be a fantastic message to the world. So I encourage you to sign. So you can support it and you can be part of it. This is why I said the sentence: "you can be a part of it" is so important. Because it is not my project: it is your project, it is our project. It is a project with our partners, it is a project with ABB so it belongs to you.

　　So if you sign up for supporting the concrete actions with clean technologies everywhere in the world, then it is a way to really share our values and spread them to as many people as possible: to your families, to your friends, to everybody. This is a way to be part of it. So, thank you and good luck!
