His new project ‘Climate Impulse’ is not just about a sense of adventure, as he said in an interview with Tamedia published on Wednesday: ‘I’m fed up with all the pessimism and passivity when it comes to environmental protection. I want to show all the people who don’t see a future that there is hope and that we can take action. The best way to do this is with a spectacular project.”
Because there is still great resistance and aversion to future-oriented technologies, according to Piccard. “I want to show that the opposite is the case. I want to show that we now have everything we need to transition away from fossil fuels.” Environmental protection only becomes a reality when it is perceived as economical and exciting. “But even though the solutions exist, they are not used enough.”
The new project has been in the works for three years. “It costs about 45 million francs to build the aircraft and 15 million to operate it,” said Piccard, who will be 70 years old in 2028. His wife said that he would then be too old to inspire the young people. “I say: Yes, but I will be old enough to give hope to the old people.”
