@CelloMomOnCars Unfortunately some of those are extremely poor countries that need to generate and use a lot more electric just to join the modern world. The Democratic Republic of Congo was the poorest country in the world when I checked a few years ago (the list has likely changed since, but even the best case they could not move up much)
What's unfortunate about that?
Now that they're on the path of clean energy, they're likely to stay on it -- unless, of course, the dirty energy peeps force their dirty energy on them as is happening with, say, #EACOP.
While developed countries are locked in to dirty energy by history and strong oil & gas lobbies, developing countries can leapfrog into clean energy, - unless they're redlined - just like they did with mobile phones.
Producing energy, whether clean or dirty, requires investment. Whether developing countries go with clean or dirty depends on where the investments go.
Right now, because of redlining, it's three times more expensive to build wind or solar in some developing countries than in rich countries. But loans for oil and gas companies are cheap b/c they are not redlined. Guess who goes in first.
