Episode notes
Angola Solar Project
- The U.S. Export-Import Bank funded a $900 million solar project in Angola, where 60% of people lack electricity.
- This prioritizes climate commitments over the immediate needs of Angola's energy-impoverished population.
Green Colonialism
- Imposing climate concerns on developing nations is a form of colonialism.
- This contradicts leftist ideology that claims to oppose colonialism while actively harming the poor.
Germany's Energy Policy Failure
- Germany's energy policies have backfired, resulting in higher prices, unreliable energy, and increased pollution.
- Their increased reliance on coal and global LNG market purchases has priced out developing countries like Pakistan.
