Unfortunately I think we are past the point of still being able to run on fossil fuels if excessive carbon dioxide is absorbed. There is already way too much CO2 in the atmosphere (along with other dangerous gases like methane) that we essentially need to stop burning fossil fuels immediately AND find a way to take these gases out of the atmosphere.

We should have started decades ago... but since we can't go back in time, we can only do the best we can... luckily lots of really smart people have figured out ways to transition lots of functions from fossil fuels, often in ways that create more jobs and opportunities for people. We just need to do the work.

The solutions to transit from Fossil fuel will fail in underdeveloped economies because they do not have the technical know how or ready to put in the work. like you rightly said, they would have started a long time ago but it's not too late to look towards revitalizing the Eco system by revitalizing the green vegetation. We in this part of the world cannot do without fossil fuel, best bet is to find a way to curb or reduce it's excesses.

This is where I think it's really important that developed countries like the USA, China, Germany, Australia, etc put a lot of effort and money into researching and developing renewable solutions... and then making those solutions available to developing countries. I see it as a race between sustainable technologies and petrostates like the UAE to see who can help developing countries the fastest.

A lot of renewable solutions are cheaper and require far less infrastructure, capital and maintenance than fossil fuel solutions... we just need rich countries to help your part of the world leapfrog these older fuel-burning solutions.

It would have been feasible if we have the mental capacity to. We are talking about a country that has Four refineries but none are functioning. They export crude and import finished products. Developed countries stepping in will be at our detriment but even at that, we cannot even sustain the help they will render. We could not even achieve one third of our vision 2020 lol.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't realise there was such a skills shortage in your country.

It's fine 🙂... hoping we get it right eventually.
