BP Chief Executive Says to Keep Climate Change Affordable

摘要

BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward said Tuesday that greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced at reasonable cost if governments in the US and elsewhere follow free-market principles and send clear signals about the kind of investments that are needed. The boss of the UK supermajor said politicians and energy firms should acknowledge that affordable methods do exist to reduce the carbon footprint of fossil fuels - but he argued that some strategies may simply be too expensive to pursue.
