It means we give away solar, wind, and energy storage to the poor, and build all of the above as fast as manufacturing allows. You make it economically untenable to burn fossil fuels.

Global PV production capacity is ~170GW per year, current fossil generation capacity in Africa is about 135GW. Not outlandish to get that replaced in short order while accounting for growth. Want it done faster? Build more PV manufacturing capacity. The product is glass and silicon with a hint of rare earths. PV panels are almost 100% recyclable.

Overbuilt renewables should be used to sequester atmospheric carbon instead of curtailing (throwing excess renewables away when unneeded). It’s going to take an incredible amount of energy to stick all of that burned carbon from the last 100 years back into the ground.

TLDR “You must construct additional pylons.”

Thats not possible because we have the same capacity to produce product so there will always be a top % who use most of those resources. I think the real take away is that most gains can be made by fixing the processes of rich countries.

Countries like Australia have massive amounts of underutilized renewable energy that are not being used to their fullest extent combined with an American like obsession with cars.

We should be focusing on areas where easy wins can be made rather than looking at countries with the highest level of emissions which is a pointless statistic when they all have different population counts.

no, the answer is to use nuclear - a scalable technology which we have spent decades developing and operating. France gets 75% of its electricity from nuclear.

The fair solution is surely that the rich should consume less, not the poor.

And/or to have fewer people overall.
