M\u00e1s a\u00fan, para una naci\u00f3n como Chile que importa la mayor parte de sus requerimientos energ\u00e9ticos y que tiene tan lindos paisajes que proteger -una fuente de empleo y riqueza como destino tur\u00edstico- estos temas parecen cada vez m\u00e1s relevantes y apremiantes.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Sin embargo, si miramos lo que ocurr\u00eda hace s\u00f3lo un a\u00f1o cuando el panorama energ\u00e9tico para Chile era igualmente claro -el pa\u00eds importaba casi la misma cantidad de sus necesidades energ\u00e9ticas, los precios hab\u00edan subido sustancialmente y el turismo era entonces, tal como ahora, uno de los sectores de m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido crecimiento de la econom\u00eda- el debate nacional era bastante diferente.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Las conversaciones entre funcionarios de Gobierno y representantes empresariales as\u00ed como en la prensa se centraban en las quejas respecto a los cortes de suministro de gas de Argentina a Chile, la necesidad de contar con terminales de gas natural licuado (de seguro una respuesta inmediata a la crisis argentina, pero no una soluci\u00f3n a la amenaza central a la seguridad energ\u00e9tica), o el draconiano discurso \u201cmedio ambiente versus desarrollo\u201d. Lo m\u00e1s importante, seg\u00fan parec\u00eda, era repartir la culpa.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Hoy en d\u00eda se da un di\u00e1logo mucho m\u00e1s sofisticado que reconoce que nadie -al menos en Chile- tiene la culpa. De manera m\u00e1s importante, hay conciencia en cuanto a que los desaf\u00edos son de car\u00e1cter permanente y requieren un compromiso nacional unificado a fin de desarrollar un plan de largo plazo para un tema que es necesario abordar en el futuro cercano. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, hay un reconocimiento en cuanto a que las soluciones involucran a todos: la sociedad civil, las empresas y el Gobierno.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">En este contexto, seminarios sobre energ\u00eda nuclear -como el seminario sobre el tema que organiz\u00f3 la <STRONG>AmCham<\/STRONG> en julio- que re\u00fanen a expertos nacionales e internacionales de los sectores p\u00fablico, privado y de ONG; las nuevas empresas que se forman para concentrarse en la obtenci\u00f3n de ahorros energ\u00e9ticos significativos y cuantificables; y el debate sobre la implementaci\u00f3n de un marco medioambiental que permita tanto la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente como el tan necesario crecimiento para continuar mejorando la calidad de vida de los chilenos, son todas medidas constructivas que debieran hacer que Chile avance hacia una estrategia de seguridad ambiental y energ\u00e9tica.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">A\u00fan hay mucho por hacer. Sin embargo, Chile ha avanzado mucho m\u00e1s en esta materia que otros pa\u00edses, incluidos algunos de los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s desarrollados del mundo. El debate debe traducirse en acciones concretas y medibles. El hecho de que todos los actores de la sociedad est\u00e9n involucrados es un buen augurio para el \u00e9xito a largo plazo y una vez m\u00e1s es un tributo a la fortaleza de las instituciones de Chile.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Chile ir\u00e1 hasta las \u00faltimas consecuencias. En <STRONG>AmCham<\/STRONG>, incluidas nuestras 700 empresas miembro, nos complace que el di\u00e1logo se est\u00e9 desarrollando y que las estrategias est\u00e9n progresando. Esto implica un mejor ambiente para la planificaci\u00f3n y la inversi\u00f3n: el coraz\u00f3n de nuestra misi\u00f3n. Seguimos firmemente comprometidos con el respaldo de estas iniciativas y con el logro de resultados.<\/P><!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nIncreased focus on energy efficiency, a dialogue regarding the nuclear energy option, and a proposal for a new environmental framework for Chile &#8211; this month, <b>bUSiness CHILE<\/b> explores all three subjects. What do they all have in common, and what does their increasing weight in the Chilean national dialogue mean?<\/p>\n<p>No one would deny that in a world where oil prices have risen more than 200% in the past few years, a national focus on energy conservation, alternative energy sources &#8211; including nuclear power &#8211; and an efficient framework for environmental management are all key elements for a country\u2019s long-term security and prosperity. Moreover, for a country such as Chile which imports the lion\u2019s share of its energy requirements and which has such beautiful landscapes to protect &#8211; a source of employment and wealth as a tourist destination &#8211; these issues seem even more relevant and pressing.<\/p>\n<p>However, if we look back just a year ago when the energy picture for Chile was equally clear &#8211; the country imported roughly the same amount of its energy needs, prices had risen substantially and tourism was then, as it is now, one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy &#8211; national debate was very different.<\/p>\n<p>Talk among government officials and business representatives and in the press centered on complaints about Argentina cutting off gas supplies to Chile, the need for LNG terminals (an immediate response to the Argentine crisis for sure &#8211; but not a solution to the underlying energy security threat), or the draconian discourse regarding \u201cenvironment versus development\u201d. What was most important, it seemed, was to parcel out the blame.<\/p>\n<p>Today there is a much more sophisticated dialogue taking place which recognizes that no one &#8211; at least in Chile &#8211; is to blame. Most importantly, there is awareness that the challenges are permanent in nature and require a unified national commitment to develop a long-term plan for an issue which will need to be managed into the foreseeable future. Moreover, there is recognition that the solutions involve everyone &#8211; civil society, business and the government.  <\/p>\n<p>In this context, seminars on nuclear energy, such as July\u2019s AmCham seminar on the subject, which bring together Chilean and international experts from the public, private and NGO communities; new businesses being formed to focus on obtaining significant and measurable energy savings; and debate about implementing an environmental framework which allows for both environmental protection and much-needed growth to continue improving the lives of the Chilean people &#8211; are all constructive actions which should move Chile towards a strategy of energy and environmental security.  <\/p>\n<p>Much has yet to be done. However, Chile is much farther along on this matter than many countries, including some of the most developed countries in the world. The dialogue must translate into concrete and measurable actions. The fact that all players in the society are involved bodes well for long-term success and once again is a tribute to the strength of Chile\u2019s institutions.  <\/p>\n<p>Chile is in for the long haul. We at <b>AmCham<\/b>, including our 700 member companies, are pleased that the dialogue is taking place and that strategies are being developed. This means a better environment for planning and for investment &#8211; the heart of our mission. We remain firmly committed to supporting these initiatives and to producing results.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es--><P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">La mayor atenci\u00f3n en la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica, una conversaci\u00f3n sobre la posibilidad de explotar la energ\u00eda nuclear y la propuesta para un nuevo marco medioambiental para Chile, todos esos temas explora este mes <STRONG>bUSiness CHILE<\/STRONG>. \u00bfQu\u00e9 tienen los tres en com\u00fan y qu\u00e9 significa su creciente importancia en el debate nacional en Chile? <!--:--><!--:en-->Increased focus on energy efficiency, a dialogue regarding the nuclear energy option, and a proposal for a new environmental framework for Chile &#8211; this month, <b>bUSiness CHILE<\/b> explores all three subjects.
