    I know people here are laughing but they’d probably offer something serious.

    Solar power blew up in neighboring Pakistan because the government forgot to make a reliable power grid, so now even the cheapest homes have an array on the roof.

    Taliban probably want some of that action and will look to see where they can buy.

      I am sorry, I have seen you on this sub a lot of times and I usually agree with your take, but I don’t understand how this is a joke. I know that their “government” is highly conservative and authoritarian, but this seems like a step in the right direction. Their total C02 emissions in metric ton as per available data is way low, so considering that they aren’t even a polluter to begin with and global warming affecting them just like the rest of the world, I don’t understand why this is laughable. I don’t know if there’s something more going on than meets the eye, so I would appreciate if you could point that out.

        Because they cannot be trusted in any way, shape, or form to tell the truth. What is the point of inviting them?

          Hmmm while true, I think they should be given a chance instead of being kept away from such forum.
