Pranav sits down with Avantika Goswami and Trishant Dev from the Center for Science and Environment (CSE) to unpack the messy reality of green industrialization. They discuss India's solar tariffs and PLI schemes, China's grip on clean tech supply chains, whether joint ventures actually deliver technology transfer, and how CBAM shifts the burden of decarbonization onto poorer nations.
The conversation also gets into coal, what a "just transition" really means for states like Jharkhand and Odisha, why renewables alone can't replace 10-15 million coal jobs, and how countries like Ethiopia, Nepal, and Pakistan are making very different trade-offs between energy access and manufacturing ambition.
