If we continue on our current course – leaving fate to the markets, and leaving governments to compete with each other over scarce oil and food – global growth will slow under the pressures of resource constraints. But if the world cooperates on the research, development, demonstration, and diffusion of resource-saving technologies and renewable energy sources, we will be able to continue to achieve rapid economic progress.
如果我们继续我们现在的进程－让市场决定命运，让政府在稀缺的石油和食品上面相互竞争－全球经济增长将会在资源限制的压力下放缓。但是如果世界各国在研究，开发，示范以及传播节能技术和可再生能源上进行合作，我们将可以继续取得快速的经济增长。
