It's the point Alex Epstein is always making about poor countries needing a better fuel than cow dung to escape privation.

The climate racists (and I'm not referring to all climate alarmists) don't care about actual poverty stricken people. They just want less of "them", and more of "me". They might even whitewash that a bit by graciously allowing those poor countries to be exempt from certain climate policies. How nice they allow dung-burning folks an exemption from fossil fuel restriction.

As an anecdote, my father-in-law spent 2 years in The Gambia on his own dime and time to install a solar powered well and develop farmland for a community. I'll be curious to see how things are going 5 years out.
