Abstract

Poverty has long plagued humanity. The main factors affecting the gap between the rich and the poor are natural resources, human resources, information resources and science and technology. Using data from various clean energy industries and historical research methods, this paper shows that the clean energy industry is a new way to reduce poverty in developing countries. In the history of agricultural development, land and water resources are the important sources of wealth growth. In the history of industrial development, mineral resources, coal and oil energy have become the material basis for getting rich. In the 21st century with the great development of artificial intelligence, the importance of power resources is becoming more and more prominent, and clean energy such as solar energy and wind energy has become a new natural resource to create social wealth. Chinese successful practice in the development of clean energy industry shows that the clean energy industry is an effective way to get out of poverty. The results of the cooperation between China and African countries in developing clean energy industries show that the energy industry plays an increasingly important role in helping developing countries out of poverty. Although the development of clean energy industry is still restricted by market competition and monopoly organizations, the development road is still tortuous and long, it has a very bright future.
