This is complete nonsense. India is among the world’s five largest economies and is continuing to grow. Part of a growing economy is falling poverty and growing electrical demand.

how exactly do you propose India meet the growing electric demands of her residents?

The Russian gas and oil story is more pragmatism than evil intent.

One part of your comment is accurate - India’s exports are tiny relative to its population and economic size.

Indeed, one of the more nonsensical threads i've seen. Alberta farts rainbows because it doesn't make anything and nobody lives there. USA imports oil from KSA enabling KSA to do whatever the hell KSA feels like doing, all the while periodically starting wars and bombing the more stubborn oil suppliers like Libya and Iraq into submission. India and China similarly use whatever energy they can get their hands on, especially China so it can produce half-a-trillion dollars worth of cheap consumer goods every year to supply the said Americans (and even Albertans too). The ignorance is amazing.

Renewables, conservation, and stop growing so many people.

> stop growing so many people

lol they did just that. China is not "growing so many people" anymore, and neither is India, really. I suppose they could cull some of the previously grown people to get under 5 million like Alberta and to make your advice actually useful. But maybe your obvious solutions just haven't occurred to them yet.

You need to update your racist stereotypes. India's birth rate is below the replacement rate.

wrong thread? you need to reply above for the stereotype.
