Following a call to share more non-Western themes, here is an article from local Vietnamese newspaper Viet Nam News, Saturday's edition. Reading between the lines is always key here, so I thought you might appreciate this piece.

Vietnam faces a power shortage this spring and summer. The solution is coal and more coal. There is indeed a new power development plan (PDP8) that puts a focus on green energy, but only relatively speaking, coal will grow until 2030. It's growth that matters. The G7 wants green growth, but that's only a side-hustle for the government, it seems. Wind and solar energy have a hard time, enforcement on the ground is falling behind.

So the question for this sub might be how to make green energy the only alternative.
