That makes no sense, that's like saying the costs of oil are rooted in Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Russia etc. and all the benefits go to other countries. Those countries have immensely benefited from selling oil to the world. How is solar power different?
- vineyardmike 4y agoThe environmental cost of oil is global while the wealth and profits are concentrated in those nations. It’s the opposite problem.
- dmix 4y agoAs opposed to what alternative? Would we rather Iran/Russia/etc be poorer or redistribute the wealth to other countries as if oil isn't a geographic right? Punish oil nationalization or pro-nationalize but be more like Venezuela where everyone gets even poorer despite a boom in oil prices? I don't see who this is an 'inverse problem' without a realistic alternative.
- akira2501 4y ago> Those countries have immensely benefited from selling oil to the world. I certainly wouldn't assume they have "western" working conditions there. So, yea, "some" have greatly benefited. There's a really common pattern to who those lucky few are; too, history hasn't changed here. This is the typical blindness caused by any propaganda.
