Achieving a new generation of electric vehicles will require a decade of public and private partnership to achieve basic technological development (such as improved batteries), a more robust electric grid, new infrastructure for re-charging the automobiles, and much more. Similarly, it will take a decade of public and private investments to demonstrate the feasibility of coal-fired plants that capture their carbon dioxide.
但实现电动汽车的更新换代就要求公共和私人部门通力合作，耗费10年时间来发展基础技术（如电池改良），架设更加强大的电网，建造为汽车充电的新基础设施以及更多其他方面的措施。同样，我们也将需要10年的公共和私人合作投资来进行燃煤发电厂捕捉二氧化碳技术的可行性研究。
