6. Clean energy and poverty

Concerned about poverty? How many nuclear power plants are popping up in poor countries? How about uranium mines? How about solar farms?

An interesting aspect of the energy transition is that a hydrogen economy driving production of hydrogen from clean energy sources could produce wealth in places like Africa, with a huge territory that could be devoted to solar farms exporting hydrogen, and places like Argentina with a very large offshore continental shelf in a windy zone (likewise Australia).
