관세와 규제 완화, 연방정부의 인력 감축, 그리고 기후 정책 후퇴…. 오늘 날 많은 기업 리더의 머릿속을 복잡하게 만드는 변수들이다. 특히 친환경 에너지를 도입해야 하느냐 마느냐는 중요한 경영 관건이다. 물론 변수가 많은 건 사실이지만, 그렇다고 친환경 에너지 도입을 불가피하게 만드는 근본적인 경제적, 기술적 요인은 변하지 않았다. 더 깨끗하고 저렴하며 독립적인 저탄소 미래를 선호하는 시장 역학은 계속될 것이다. 혁신으로 인한 비용 감소와 성능 향상으로 친환경 에너지 기술은 이미 변곡점에 도달했다. 태양광과 풍력은 이제 대부분의 시장에서 가장 저렴한 전력원이 되었다. 2024년 미국의 신규 발전 설비 중 90%가 재생에너지였다. 블룸버그 뉴에너지 파이낸스(BloombergNEF)에 따르면 작년 전 세계 에너지 전환 기술 투자액은 2조 달러에 달했다. 화석 연료 투자액과 비교하면 거의 두 배에 이르렀다.

When I was 9 years old, the New York Times published a picture of me looking at one of the moon rocks brought back by the astronauts. The year was 1969, and my father worked at the Museum of Natural History; the paper wanted a shot with a kid looking at a symbol of our future in space. So I got to see up close what everyone else had to view inside a large box (not that it looked different than an ordinary backyard rock). Fast forward 50 years, and what do we have going on in space now?

This spring I was on a cruise off Bermuda, some 650-plus miles off the mainland United States. The sea was azure—the color of the sky on a clear blue day. The water was crystal clear other than a few golden strands of sargassum seaweed. I was on the boat with an intrepid group of major plastic producers and users (Dow Chemical, Clorox, Nestlé Waters, Coca-Cola), nonprofit organizations (Greenpeace, WWF), social entrepreneurs, investors, funders and academics like me.
