Well coming from a third world country. There is a huge push in India to use alternative options like CNG and electric vehicles. Personally CNG is more practical when it comes to India compared to electric cars.
Now if our country succeeds in that, we can use similar solutions in multiple third world countries.

It is definitely from a place of privilege to stop others from having energy that is affordable for them as you can afford the expensive energy now while denying others progress that you have already done. Talk about being an oppressor.

The limited resources trope is getting old, of course there are finite resources in the absolute, but efficiencies are essentially unlimited (infinite number of decimals for instance), Samsung just announced a 600 mile EV battery that can be recharged in 9 minutes.

Honestly I have a personal nuclear reactor so it shouldn’t be that hard to give third word countries a bunch of nuclear power plants.

HIC's need to spend way more on going to green energy so poorer countries can still have economic growth.

Consider doing interviews with Politicians
and Ask Them if their Policy Decisions are Influenced by the Numbers of People that Gather to Protest. Show how many people don't know the subject / cause, and show how many people have Pre-Printed Signs given to them upon arrival.

Who Gave the Signs❔

Are the Protests Intended to Convince the *Government* or the *Population* that there's a _"groundswell"_

Investments in Nuclear energy & fossil fuel alternatives. Cough, cough, Big Oil Companies say: no.

Dudes not thinking this through because literally what he’s saying is give up all our progress and hand it to someone else.
