> “It’s concerning that Bhutan's resources have been invested in a secretive manner in a highly volatile and risky investment which has a big environmental burden,” says one former international advisor, who asked not to be identified. Ugh.... that comment just reeks of Western privilege. What Bhutan does with their resources & energy is of no concern to any outsiders, unless they're involved in said operations themselves. Reductively, the advisor's comments just say: "They shouldn't be able to do X with their own resources. WE know what's best for them, not Bhutan."
