Jorma Ollila - a better judge on industry needs and capability.

Jorma Ollila, the creator of the IT-giant Nokia and chairman of Shell, has in an interview in the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat last Sunday stated his view on climate change and the priorities for the energy systems.

He found that the U.S. attempts announced in George Bushs address to the nation (state of the union) is “feeble and disappointing” . He furthermore declared that energy efficiency has to improve at least two-fold and that such an effort is more important than the development of nuclear power. A fact very well outlined also in the recent IEA reports , though less reported in the press.

So these statements by a person that has turned a rubber-boot company into a leading global technology business and also is chairing a major energy company seems to come from someone who knows rather than wishes.
