RE: The Persuasion article on Climate Change Linda mentioned. The study referenced in the piece was about increases in electricity usage, not CO2 emissions. They are related not the same.

In 2022 India and Indonesia were the top 2 countries in the world in electric car market increase. So while the developing world will see the largest energy use increases, but that does not mean they have all turned maga and reject clean technology.
