I have a filter that ignores pessimism.
Here's why you are wrong.
China is adopting solar on a massive scale. In fact it's the Chinese solar industry that broke the grid parity barrier.
And yes, their people are and will demand cleaner air.
And most importantly, new solar is cheaper than new coal plants, even in India.
And as far as countries like Nigeria, I propose that the developed world begins to enact sanctions against reckless polluters to incentivize social nation state behavior.
I think that we will find, just as transnational oil companies have found, that the governments of countries like Nigeria are easily swayed by outside money.
And this idea that controlling carbon will slow economic growth is ludicrous.
What do you think having NYC and Miami flooded will do to growth? What about 100 million refugees from Bangladesh. Look at the problem of Syrian refugees for Europe.
We did one thing right, and we got solar pv cheap just in the nick of time.
