If things start getting interesting price wise.
We all deserve a break after all this time and money put aside for a long time, to mine in a country is a big undertaking and there will be some that feel this isn't what they want. However, Bangladesh is at a crossroads.....to survive in the industrial Asian market they cannot power the country as they currently do. They cannot afford it and green energy can not be created overnight and replace what energy mix they have. This is reality. I want the country to flourish and be successful, people can afford power, they will have it available all the time, businesses can be powered and compete internationally, bringing contracts and employment. Foreign investment will only come if power stability exists. We have taken great risk to put money fwd to make this happen so yeah be nice if we can be rewarded for helping make this happen for Bangladesh.
The green revolution will come but it will take time and with countries competing in the same market using a full energy mix you have to be on a level paying field to compete.
United Kingdom has destroyed business and manufacturing, destroyed people livelihoods in trying to be a world leader in going green....but it destroyed the country's ability to compete in international markets as we have the most expensive electricity in the western world. Our household bills are double in recent years..... being green does not come cheap!
It will come over years and take a bigger share of the energy mix, but it is folly to think this can be done quickly or replace fossil fuels and comoete with your neighbours.
