Pakistan has noticed their share of the $100 billion per annum climate cash they were promised has not started appearing in their bank accounts.

Let it burn...

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Let them take if from their Muslim brothers.  The dirty little secret is they hate each other anyway.

I don't care if they burn rat dung. Keep the money.

I'm sure the US, under Imam Obama had said they would pay countries like Pakistan - with the long term purpose to break Americans' backs.

Keep burning coal?  Heck they barely burn any to start with.

Gross electricity generation in Pakistan increased gradually over the past decade from 90 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2005 to 110 billion kWh in 2015. Key sources of power production in 2015 were oil (35%), natural gas (29%), and hydroelectricity (30%), according to the Pakistani government. Nuclear generation made up 5%, and wind and imported electricity from Iran accounted for 1%. Natural gas supply shortages over the past several years have led to an increased share of oil use in power generation.

The only proper response is an offer to build them a coal plant and sell them more coal.  At a reasonable profit of course, not a gift.

Good idea!   Actually, the plant itself should be the gift - that'll cover the payola they say is missing - and then they can buy the coal.

Oh, not free, just cheap. Like an inkjet printer, the money is in the supplies to run it, not the item itself.

Exactly.
