Not sure what to make out of the current debates around COP28, if I take anything out of this it is probably that the politics of reporting is dragging us all into the mire!
In summary the reporting seems to be;
- It's only green if it's my green, your green doesn't count.
- One solution fits all, my solution.
- It's everybody else's fault.
- No matter what is really happening around the globe, don't mention the "N" word.
Because the various green solutions are all cutting each other's throat trying to be the big player in the town, "N" is now back fairly and squarely in the plans from all the big economies. It will screw a country like us over, because we'll develop renewable technologies that need export scale sales to make ends meet, and there will be no major economy market left to sell them to!
If China, USA, Germany(EU), Japan and India go "N", it's pretty much the death knell for every local major green energy technology initiative I know of!
