British billionaire and founder of the Virgin Group Corporation advised US President Donald Trump not to try to revive the coal industry, but to focus attention on clean energy. It's renewable sources, electric cars and artificial meat that will help the world cope with the consequences of climate change, I'm sure Richard Branson.

Miners should be the first to undergo requalification and move from the coal industry to the sphere of clean energy, I'm sure the founder of Virgin Group Richard Branson. His vision of the near future entrepreneur shared in the panel discussion at the DS Virgin Racing Innovation Summit.

"Coal mining is not the most pleasant work in the world. In Britain, this practice was abandoned a few decades ago. And hardly any miner wants to return to the mine again, "Branson said..

According to the billionaire, US President Donald Trump needs to focus not on coal mining, but on creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the field of clean energy. However, the withdrawal of America from the Paris agreement, according to Branson, proves the inability of the current authorities to correctly prioritize.

The entrepreneur advises companies to take the initiative and to develop renewable energy sources. "Addressing the problem of climate change is one of the greatest opportunities for the whole world," Branson quotes Yahoo Finance. Branson Corporation Virgin Group recently joined the union We Are Still In, which includes companies that support the Paris Agreement.

It is possible to fight global warming with other measures. For example, to abandon the slaughter of animals for the production of meat. Livestock breeding leads to colossal pollution of the environment. Richard Branson hopes that soon alternative meat products obtained in the laboratory or created from vegetable components will completely replace the habitual cutlets and steaks.

Net consumption will become the new norm. Houses will receive energy from clean sources, aircraft and cars will not use fuel, but energy from batteries. Transformations will have a positive impact on the economy and will benefit companies, says the founder of Virgin Group. The very essence of capitalism will change, I'm sure Branson. Investors will invest in companies that change the world. The businessman calls this form of the device "positive capitalism".

According to Branson, the Virgin Group is already investing in new technologies in aviation. Virgin Galactic is testing spaceports for space tourism. However, the main innovations are concentrated in the production of aircraft. About 50% of the new Virgin planes are made of CFRP, which reduces fuel consumption by 25%. Over time, the company also plans to use graphene.
