This is definitely not going to be an article what the title may suggest. At least not for those who still believe in the mainstream paradigm, according to which “everything can only get better with time”. This is also not going to be an article on the subcontinent’s culture or policies. No, this one is about something entirely different, something totally contraintuitive to the technutopist narrative.
Good point. I doubt it’s yet astroturfing, could be just amplifying misinformation from renewable PR. Most people don’t have a good picture of energy use and raw materials extraction in the global context.
