太平洋领导人考虑成为世界上第一个完全以可再生能源为动力的区域的提议。 Pacific leaders consider proposal to become world’s first region fully powered by renewable energy.

来自太平洋各国的领导人正在考虑一项提案,成为世界上第一个仅靠可再生能源发电的地区。 Leaders from Pacific nations are considering a proposal to become the world's first region powered solely by renewable energy. 该倡议由帕劳总统小苏兰热尔·Whipps领导,旨在摆脱化石燃料,因为目前化石燃料每年消耗太平洋国家60亿美元的柴油进口。 The initiative, led by President Surangel S. Whipps Jr. of Palau, aims to shift away from fossil fuels, which currently cost Pacific countries $6 billion annually in diesel imports. 至少有370万人缺乏电力供应,该计划可以节省数十亿美元,为74%未与现有电网连接的岛民提供电力。 At least 3.7 million people lack electricity access, and the plan could save billions and provide power to 74% of islanders not connected to existing grids.
