[quote=spdrun]Assuming people emit more CO2 when their standard of living is raised, wouldn’t a cynic say that we should NOT raise the standard of living in developing countries?
Also, developing countries have less infrastructure and more access to solar power (being generally located in warmer/sunnier climates). Perhaps they’re a chance to start building clean infrastructure from scratch where it doesn’t already exist.[/quote]
hopefully tech developments would allow the developing world to leapfrog, best example being phone service in Africa. Essentially bypassing land lines altogether and simply move directly into cellular.
we see the same with solar in Africa as well, bypassing traditional power plants and grid completely.
if we worry about N.America/Europe not wanting to store electricity using used EV batteries, there’s no question there’s a market for them in Africa.
