Shitty clickbait article. Read Trump’s war with Iran is impacting everyone and unlike the US, India has one of the fastest solar and renewable implementations.


We need economic sanctions on countries that do that kind of shit. India could just plaster their country with solar panels and batteries from their neighbor China. Its probably cheaper in the short term to just burn the shit out of our atmosphere, but sanctions would fix that shit very fast.

Er they are, they have some of the fastest buildouts of solar + storage anywhere bar China. But its a huge, rapidly industrialising country so there will be a transition period. Ac demand with global warming dies not help


You realise that the US invading Iran had an overnight effect upon all countries and that India has one of the highest uptake and implementation rates for solar and other renewables? Right?

India is a major driver of coal power in the world, second only to China.

Global coal plant commissioning in 2025 was heavily concentrated in China, where new coal capacity additions reached a decade high of 78.1 GW. India also saw a rebound in coal commissioning compared to recent years with 10 GW added, although additions remained below mid-2010s levels. Globally, capacity added in 2025 totaled 97.4 GW, the second-highest on record behind only 2015 (107.3 GW). [Archived]

Outside of China and India, coal plant commissioning remained comparatively low at 9.2 GW.
