Comment on Pakistan's 22 GW Solar Shock: How a Fragile State Went Full Clean Energyparent

Comments

The article seems unrealistically favourable to Pakistan's government eg:

Pakistan’s energy transformation didn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s part of a broader pivot toward climate consciousness that has taken root in both policy and politics...

whereas in reality solar's taken off because the government is incompetent at providing electricity so people get their own panels. From wikipedia:

Following 2022 dearth of imported LNG in Pakistan, the country indicated it would quadruple its coal power plants, which use domestic coal

Doesn't sound very "pivot toward climate consciousness" to me.
