One side of the argument is that rich nations in the west and heck, even China have built their economies on cheap energy aka coal.
The argument is that the 3rd world hasn't caught up yet to other countries and need cheap energy to do so, but you also have the west saying "EVERYONE MUST GO GREEN"
Corruption and other 3rd world shenanigans aside, if the west want to push this agenda to developing nations, you should help fund it.

Rich countries have an obligation to pay for SA's green hydrogen development
Rich nations have an obligation to fund South Africa’s development of green hydrogen as part of a global effort to decarbonise, according to the presidency’s infrastructure chief.
The most industrialised nation on the continent that depends on coal to generate 80% of its electricity has plans to attract as much as $250 billion into green hydrogen, an emerging technology used to split water using renewable energy.
