Gorbachev urges G8 to back solar power, not oil or nuclear April 26, 2006.
“Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev urged the world’s biggest industrialized nations to set up a 50–billion–dollar (44–billion–euro) fund to support solar power, warning that oil or nuclear energy were not viable energy sources for the future.
Gorbachev — who chairs an environmental thinktank, Green Cross International — called on leaders of the Group of Eight (G8) industrialized nations to invest in renewable energy sources, in a statement marking the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

The G8 brings together Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States.”
