The speaker asserts that an internationaleffort is needed to preserve the world's energy resources for future generations.While individual nations, like people, are at times willing to make voluntary sacrificesfor the benefit of others, my view is that international coordination is neverthelessnecessary in light of the strong propensity of nations to act selfishly, and because theproblem is international in scope.
The main reason why an international effortis necessary is that, left to their own devices, individual nations, like people,will act according to their short-term motives and self-interest. The mere existence ofmilitary weapons indicates that self-interest and national survival are every nation's primedrivers. And excessive consumption by industrialized nations of natural resourcesthey know to be finite, when alternatives are at hand demonstrates that self-interest andshort-sightedness extend to the use of energy resources as well. Furthermore, nations,like people, tend to rationalize their own self-serving policies and actions. Emergingnations might argue, for example, that they should be exempt from energy conservationbecause it is the industrialized nations who can better afford to make sacrifices andwho use more resources in the first place.
Another reason why an international effortis required is that other problems of aninternational nature have also requiredglobal cooperation. For example, has each nation independently recognized the folly ofnuclear weapons proliferation and voluntarily disarmed? No: only by way of aninternational effort, based largely on coercion of strong leaders against detractors, alongwith an appeal to self-interest, have we made some progress. By the same token, effortsof individual nations to thwart international drug trafficking have proven largelyfutile, because efforts have not been internationally based. Similarly, the problem of energyconservation transcends national borders in that either all nations must cooperate, or allwill ultimately suffer.
In conclusion, nations are made up ofindividuals who, when left unconstrained, tend to act in their own self-interest andwith short-term motives. In light of how we have dealt, or not dealt, with other globalproblems, it appears that an international effortis needed to ensure the preservation of natural resources for future generations.
