Yes, yes. Totally agree. I tried to make that point here. The market and capitalism got us into this mess — so I’m not saying the market is our savior. But, I’ll take what I can get if it moves us in the right direction. We just can’t stop there.https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1162180549944889344 …
Thanks, but what's the underlining takeaway? How do Mongolia and Morocco serve as use cases that disprove Kingsmill?

Mongolia shows the political economy vs. economics point. It has all solar/wind sources one could wish for but will remain stuck w coal & natural resources bc that’s what the elites profit from & have come to co-exploit w the biggest mining companies worldwide. Similar in China

I see this as a "capitalist eating capitalist" issue. When there are enough global capitalists exploiting solar/wind, they will eat away at the global fossil fuel capitalists. Right now, the solar/wind capitalists haven't become big enough yet to undermine the elites there.

we all (at least I) learn so much from *vaguely gestures around* y’all, esp. also the AMZN staff initiatives & investigations—very much looking forward to seeing where this leads! Yep very curious to see where Alex is headed, he’s an uncanny good feel for US context
