In Europe, it took feed-in tariffs to kick-start&#xa0;renewables. In the US, natural gas proved a low-cost and relatively clean alternative. The Chinese embraced solar for two key reasons. First, it helped address over-reliance on highly polluting coal-fired plants. And second, it reinforced demand for national manufacturers of solar panels and equipment.&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Across developing markets and particularly in the equatorial regions of Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia, there&#x2019;s no shortage of sunshine. It&#x2019;s political will and capital that&#x2019;s in short supply. Cost for governments and industries is the key driver. Public health, environmental protection, and good will are all secondary considerations.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The best news of late is that solar is now not only affordable, but in many cases financially preferable. It&#x2019;s the confluence of events &#x2013; like the converging tributaries of the Mekong Delta &#x2013; that now appear to be creating a well-spring of support for solar. Not even collapsing oil prices appear capable of intruding on solar&#x2019;s rise.&#xa0;</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class=" editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="100%" align="" valign="top"> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div><table class="editor-image OneColumnMobile" style="mso-table-rspace: 5.75pt;" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="mobile-hidden" width="15" height="1" align="center" valign="top" style="height: 1px; line-height: 1px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" width="15" height="1" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"> </td> <td class="image-cell " align="center" valign="top" style="padding: 0px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block; height: auto !important; max-width: 100% !important;" width="372" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/41ca3c44701/8c90f2e4-12da-48bc-8e1c-f41f3917d738.png"> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="mobile-hidden" width="5" height="5" align="center" valign="top" style="height: 1px; line-height: 1px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" width="5" height="1" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden" height="5" align="center" valign="top" style="height: 5px; line-height: 1px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" width="1" height="5" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The Economic Confluence of Events</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">&#xfeff;</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The combination of events, as outlined by Gavin, goes something like this, and it starts with manufacturing costs. China effectively drove down the per unit price of solar panels over nearly two decades of aggressive investment and a fair share of price gouging. Solar manufacturers in Europe and North America found it impossible to compete and many went out of business. Today, six of the world&#x2019;s top 10 solar companies are Chinese. As the country has done with automobiles, consumer electronics and industrial goods, the Middle Kingdom has applied its operational prowess to make more solar products for less.&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The key beneficiaries of lower cost panels, of course, are project owners. From farms to rooftops, it costs a fraction today of what it did ten years ago to generate solar power.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Growing Demand</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Then, of course, there&#x2019;s the demand side. Hundreds of millions of people throughout the developing world have been lifted out of poverty on the back of three decades of global economic growth. They&#x2019;ve joined the ranks of the middle class and they need and want power to light their homes, turn on their televisions, and charge their phones. Governments from Indonesia to Myanmar can barely keep up. In fact, they have largely failed to upgrade their power grids and distribution systems which means generating and delivering energy has become increasingly inefficient.</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class=" editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="100%" align="" valign="top"> <div class="gl-contains-image"> <table class="editor-image editor-image editor-image-vspace-on" style="min-width: 100%;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" style="padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block; height: auto !important; max-width: 100% !important;" width="587" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/41ca3c44701/e9366443-a547-40ea-a943-70bafc5a3b60.png"> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class=" editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="100%" align="" valign="top"> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div> <span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I&#x2019;ve named the four key forces driving adoption of solar.

The subject has had its share of detractors and political nay-sayers, but with the passage of time, evidence mounts that humans &#x2013; not Mother Nature &#x2013; are the undeniable chief culprits of this pending disaster. Acknowledging the crises is one thing. Actually doing something about it is another. Where to begin? My guest this week, Assaad Razzouk, says there are lots of moving parts in this climate change puzzle, but holding corporations accountable, he says, could prove a catalyst. Assaad has a vantage point on the subject. He&#x2019;s Group Chief Executive and Co-Founder of Sindicatum Sustainable Resources, a Singapore-based clean energy investment group that buys, owns and operates projects throughout India and Southeast Asia. From this vantage point, Assaad has learned a few things about government intransigence, corporate behaviour, and public indifference. </span></div></div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 10px; line-height: 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0;" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img style="display: block; width: 5px; height: 10px;" alt="" width="5" height="10" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 5px; line-height: 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0;" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img style="display: block; width: 5px; height: 5px;" alt="" width="5" height="5" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></td> <td class="split feature editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="50%" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: #F4F4F4;" bgcolor="#F4F4F4"> <div class="gl-contains-image"> <table class="editor-image content-image" style="min-width: 100%;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <a href="http://www.insideasiapodcast.com/stephanie-dickson-green-is-the-new-black/"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="285" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/41ca3c44701/41943af2-0955-4352-9a86-77cbf6c8fb58.jpg"> </a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div><div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Click photo to link and listen</span></div></div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Stephanie Dickson:</span></div> <div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">Green is the New Black</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">| December 12, 2018&#xa0;|</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text feature-text" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div><div> <span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Fashion is an industry that depends on fast and frequent shifts in taste. To keep up with consumer demand, brand-name makers of clothing and accessories have developed a habit of using cheap, sometimes unethical, labor to drive production. Environmental concerns have also fallen to the wayside. The fashion industry is the second biggest polluter in the world, according to some. Landfills everywhere are piled high with textile waste and toxic chemicals that are used in the manufacture of the new clothes we buy. My guest this episode is trying to change that. Stephanie Dickson is a fashion industry marketer turned sustainability activist. Her latest venture is&#xa0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Green is the New Black</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">, a festival for conscious suppliers and buyers of fashion products. She&#x2019;s making a real difference in a specific industry, and the important thing to know is that she&#x2019;s not alone. For her&#x2014;as for many millennials&#x2014;the refusal of the status quo, to simply accept the byproducts of business as usual is also refusal to turn a blind eye to the environmental and labor abuses that have been understood as necessary in the fashion industry. </span> </div></div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 10px;
