As a US citizen, I’d be happy for us to stand up (ie fully fund) a “solarcorps,” where we send folks to help build out renewable infra in developing countries subsidized or free. Your country provides the local labor who will be paid fair wages, we’ll provide hardware and know how. Conversely, if that help is not accepted and they keep building coal plants (or similar “business as usual”), punitive economic policies are enacted. The carrot is welcome, but sometimes the stick is needed. People are tricky, but physical systems don’t give AF.
