It's not a fair comparison, coal was pretty much the only game in town and at a time when understanding of pollution only related to local level.

Yes its unfair but at the end of the day its the developing countries that will be hit hardest by climate change, not the west. I do agree we should subsidise clean energy around the world though.

The wind resource in India is poor. Solar is likely the answer there, with batteries and hydrogen.
