      That averages out to an easy 55 billion a country. I’m sure this will happen.

      Or does this include private investments?

        And in the same time they will save (also in the article) 2.8 trillion (or 100 billion on average per country) in fossil fuel imports and 2.5 trillion (or 90 billion per country) in prevented damages.

        So I’d call this a great bargain…

        Now, we only need to explain them the obvious: Who starts early will get a higher share of the savings.

      I first thought in long scale, then it would be 1.5 * 1018. That would be a bit too much though.
