the transition in post-industrial countries happens because they can consume industrial goods produced in other countries that are not transitioning. It’s the same trick they use to make you believe plastic is recyclable.
Except that the primary limiter on the rate at which the poorer countries are transitioning is a lack of capital with which to build new cheaper renewables in a country scale example of it being expensive to be poor. Building local industrial goods is giving them the capital necessary to build renewables, it’s just lagging because Fossil companies are putting huge amounts of capital into slowing it.
This logic totally makes sense in the world of university economy books, or international cooperation, but it’s still going to kill most people on the planet.
