@ProjectFearlessness #Pakistan replaced anywhere between 20-40% of its energy production with rooftop #solar in 2024 alone.

Its been so rapid, despite entrenched fossil lobbies, the Gov has had to cancel future coal and gas power projects, and renegotiate contracts with current ones to lower their prices or just shutter them

No amount of lobbying or narrative building can beat cold hard science and economics.

#Renewables are the future!

L'#Inde, unifiée avec le #Pakistan et l’#Afghanistan, est alors devenue le grand diplomate de ce Nouveau Monde fortement centré sur l'Asie, en arbitrant avec tact et profits divers les relations parfois tendues entre la Grande #Europe, dont la #Turquie fait maintenant pleinement partie, et la #Chine...

@dubh We'll need to be very selective in whom to get to the local grid and whom to leave off.

People dont "need" to be on a grid anymore. Stand-alone off-grid installations are reliable enough to provide power. Can have a mosque (every house in #Pakistan has access to one) set up production, and all people need to do is connect a wire to it.

@dubh great link, thanks!

echoes what I think is the only way forward: abandon the grid in its current form. Trying to prop-up an outdated and inefficient grid on the backs of one segment of slightly better off households, and using this as a justification for its continued existence is harmful to everyone's interests.
