Comment on Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity
drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoInteresting to note that this is being spearheaded by lower-income developing nations.
There were those on the left who were worried that the phase out of fossil fuels would be like the developed nations pulling the ladder up behind themselves. But with the way things are going now countries in the global south may actually end up leapfrogging the imperial core, as they build out cleaner and more advanced infrastructure.
This had always been a faulty line of thinking by those who claim that the less-developed world would start to use as many resources as the developed world already had.
Like, no. Why would the bury copperlines all over the place instead of just going mobile directly. Rinse and repeat for everything else - like using solar instead of coal.

Yup, with people stupidly voting against climate action in Canada, US and Europe.
