Developed countries enjoyed fruits of low-cost energy for several years, should go for net-zero faster: India

India TV News  

Developed nations have enjoyed the fruits of energy and they will need to go for net-zero faster so that developing nations have some carbon space, India asked developed nations ahead of the COP26 climate meet. So all the countries put together will be net-zero which means the developed countries, which have already enjoyed the fruits of low-cost energy for several years have to go in for net-zero much faster and if possible going for net-negative so that they can release policy space and some carbon space for the developing countries to pursue their developing agenda." On being asked how much funds will India require to pursue clean energy, Goyal said, "For our base load to be replaced from coal to maybe nuclear, we will need large amounts of capital to set up nuclear plants, both to replace our current demand and future demand that our development imperative requires." Also, "we need to be a member of the nuclear supplier's group to ensure adequate availability of raw material for nuclear supply and several other associated concerns around the cost of power," Piyush Goyal said.
