I wouldn't be surprised if they use this as an excuse to open up public lands for extraction.
So is that a fair comparison?
It's pretty heavily fossil-fuel powered right now, but like most of the rest of the world Morocco is planning to capture most of its growth in energy demand with renewables. Because, getting back to the original discussion, it'd be idiotic to choose fossil fuels over renewables in 2026.
Renewables also seem to be the best pathway for many nations to attain some level of energy independence (which is NOT the same as oil independence though).
