Pune / Davos: Tulsi Tanti, Chairman, Suzlon Group the worlds fifth leading wind turbine maker
today presented his publication Lets Save the Planet at the annual meeting of the World
Economic Forum in Davos. Developed in association with The Climate Group, Lets Save the Planet
discusses the opportunities for sustainable development through energy efficient and economically
profitable business models.
The document outlines the severe threat of climate change and offers a solution through innovative
energy usage and competitive green solutions.
Commenting on the publication, Tulsi Tanti said: Climate change offers us several avenues for
sustainable growth. It is a myth that energy efficiency and green development have to be costly
and disruptive. Through this publication I wish to highlight the possibility of a safe and secure
tomorrow which lies well within our reach.
I would specially like to thank The Climate Group for the support they have extended in producing
this document. I urge you all to join their commendable efforts in bringing about a Clean
Revolution.
Mark Kenber, CEO of The Climate Group, said: Tulsi Tanti is a true pioneer of The Clean
Revolution, showing how confronting the global climate challenge goes hand-in-hand with business
success and creating lasting prosperity. In Lets Save the Planet, he lays out a set of small but
significant steps to take clean technologies to scale and avoid severe environmental damage to the
worlds economy. I commend it to all those attending this years World Economic Forum in Davos.
Determining the true cost of energy, and forming alliances between governments, private sector
and civil society are essential for securing sustainable future energy needs. The solution outlined in
the document requires commitment to legally binding emissions caps, as well as private sector
initiatives for sustainable and profitable business models.
The astonishingly high potential of modern day renewable energy is highlighted: while oil and
conventional gas may peak between 150-160 years, wind and solar alone has over one million GW
of estimated potential power capacity, which can fulfill electricity needs for many centuries.
