比罗尔表示,如今推动可再生能源扩张的主要是能源安全而非环境考虑,各国希望减少对进口燃料的依赖。
"此前,环境问题是推动可再生能源增长的政策重点,成本下降也使其在许多市场具备竞争力;但如今,推动可再生能源扩张的主要是能源安全,越来越多国家希望降低对进口燃料的依赖。"原文 (en)
"Previously, environmental concerns were the policy priority behind the growth of renewables, whose falling costs have made them a competitive option in many markets - but today, it's mainly energy security that is driving renewables' expansion as more and more countries seek to reduce their exposure to imported fuels," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.
