Are we all OK with needlessly leaving millions of poor people in the dark because of the most massive scientific fraud in human history?

Unleash OPIC: Why Are We Fighting Climate Change on the Back of the World’s Poor? | Todd Moss | Global Development: Views from the Center

Yet the OPIC emissions cap effectively prevents it from participating in almost all natural gas-fuelled power projects—and thus directly leaves millions of the global poor in the dark.

There is a good case for lifting the cap in its entirety:  This policy denies access to basic electricity for the world’s most vulnerable while making no meaningful dent in global emissions. It also smacks of hypocrisy to impose caps on say, Ethiopia (which emits less than 1% of the per capita emissions of the United States) or Nigeria (less than 4%), when we have no such caps on ourselves. This is, simply put, no way to fight climate change.
