????基格?沙是一位專注于能源創新成長的創業家。他是Carbon War Room的現任董事和前CEO，這個組織致力于尋求降低碳排放的商業解決方案。他還是《氣候創富：解放氣候影響經濟》（Creating Climate Wealth：Unlocking the Impact Economy）的作者。2003年，他創立了SunEdison公司，面向全球提供太陽能服務。

????如今，作為基格?沙咨詢公司（Jigar Shah Consulting）的首席執行官，他攜手眾多行業的全球性公司部署由新型商業模式驅動的現有清潔能源解決方案。基格?沙曾經擔任《財富》（Fortune）雜志綠色頭腦風暴大會（Brainstorm Green conference）的演講嘉賓，日前，他就被高估的能源項目、個人成就和目標、以及他長期記錄各家飯店特色飲食的緣由等10個問題給出了自己的答案。

????1.最讓你興奮的替代能源項目是什么？

????我的靈感起初源自太陽能。雖然它仍處于我內心深處，我在Carbon War Room的工作表明比其他地方有更多機會——實際上，有上萬億美元的商機。同樣讓我感到興奮的還有重型貨車效能、工業效能、船舶效率、生物質能、太陽能、存儲和其他很多領域。

????2.哪些替代能源項目被高估的情況最嚴重？

????混合動力汽車技術。總體上，混合動力汽車進展有限。它就像努力讓火電廠變得更加高效：它是很有意思的機會，但就像對癌癥用創可貼一樣無濟于事。我們需要推動有望長期持續發展的行業，消除氣候變化的影響，推動經濟增長。

????3.你最崇拜的綠色企業或人物？為什么？

????太多了。我必須得提汽車共享的那些人，比方說SideCar的桑尼爾?保羅。他們現在所做的事情很艱難，他們的堅持將引領整一代人不再擁有自己的汽車。我已經放棄了自己的車；這是一種解放。

????4.你最大的成就是什么？

????通過推廣“無預付”商業模式開啟全球太陽能PV（光伏）行業。它幫助一些公司節約了數十億美元。而且，因為這是真正可持續的解決方案，已經觸發了化石燃料行業發自內心的恐懼。他們發現自己也有軟肋。

????5.每位領導人都應具備的一項素質是什么？

????謙虛。沒人能靠自己一個人獲得成功。

????Jigar Shah is an entrepreneur who focuses on the growth of energy innovations. He is a board member and former CEO of the Carbon War Room, an organization that finds business solutions to reducing carbon emissions. He is also author of Creating Climate Wealth: Unlocking the Impact Economy. In 2003, he founded the company SunEdison, which provides global solar energy services.

????Today, as chief executive of Jigar Shah Consulting, he works with global companies in a multitude of industries to deploy existing clean energy solutions fueled by new business models. As a former speaker for Fortune's Brainstorm Green conference, he answered 10 questions for us about overrated energy projects, his accomplishments, his goals, and why he keeps a running log of what he orders at restaurants.

????1. What alternative energy projects are you most excited about?

????Originally my inspiration came from solar energy. While that is still near and dear to my heart, my work at the Carbon War Room showed me that there were more opportunities -- in fact, trillions of dollars of opportunities -- elsewhere. I got equally excited about heavy truck efficiency, industrial efficiency, ship efficiency, biomass, solar thermal, storage, and many other areas.

????2. What alternative energy projects are most overrated?

????Hybrid vehicle technologies. In general, they just don't get us very far. It is like trying to make coal plants more efficient: interesting opportunity, but like a Band-Aid on cancer. We need to drive industries that will be here for the long term that stave off the effects of climate change and drive economic growth.

????3. What green business or person do you admire most? Why?

????There are just so many. I would have to say the car-sharing folks, like SideCar's Sunil Paul. What they are doing is hard and their persistence will usher in an entire generation of people that will never own a car. I got rid of my car; it was liberating.

????4. What is your greatest achievement?

????Unlocking the global solar PV [photovoltaics] industry by popularizing the "no money down" business model. It has helped companies save billions. And because it is a real sustainable solution, it has struck fear into the hearts of the fossil fuel industry. They found out they had vulnerabilities.

????5. What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

????Humility. No one got there alone.
