Not only will the climate agenda drive up costs, but it will establish centralized control for the issuance of carbon credits, the permission to consume energy. Get ready for higher costs and reduced access, because your betters know what's best. So yeah, you're still being taxed from abroad, but at least it isn't the colonialism the pop culture historical revisionists have learned to hate so well. "Sustainable" development is advanced as a necessity not to save the souls of the savages, but to avoid the foretold apocalypse and save us all. Remember that when you're in the "developing" world buying an inverter system. It is for your own good that you don't have better electricity service.

    What was the alternative to British colonial rule? A peaceful utopia? Was it exclusively bad or relatively better than suttee? Zimbabwe? https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-slavery/chronology-who-banned-slavery-when-idUSL1561464920070322 https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-slavery/chronology-who-ba...
