摘要：Summary
New technology has, throughout the history of mankind,
been a key which opens the door to economic development
and growth. Technological breakthroughs and their effective
application cut costs, achieve higher efficiencies and, above
all, open up wide new options. Herein lies the strongest and
safest route to affluence, enhanced welfare and enhanced
competitiveness, the most robust protection against economic
deprivation, inertia and decay, and, in the longer term,
hopefully, the path to a transition to non-fossil-fuel energy
and non-pollutant industry .
