I will support environmental protection.
Western developed countries have destroyed the environment up until now, so Western developed countries must pay compensation to developing countries.
Once again, the West is lying.
The West's claim is an attempt to abolish bilateral transactions and shift contracts to a market economy.
The West is trying to buy resources cheaply from natural resource countries.
Long-term contracts are bilateral and a negotiation transaction (over-the-counter transaction), so the seller can also exert negotiating power.
Short-term contracts are bought on the market, so the seller sells at the lowest price.
After Western developed countries lost their colonies to independence, Western developed countries developed a new method to exploit developing countries: the introduction of a market economy.
Long-term contracts allow the seller to sell at a premium price.
Long-term contracts bring the negotiating power closer to equality.

Decades-long contracts chain Asia to coal-fired power

Decades-long coal-fired power purchase contracts are slowing the transition to cleaner energy sources in Asia, leading utilities to burn more coal even when wind and solar power are available, according to climate researchers and renewable energy advocates.
Rising dependence on coal for power generation in countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam is a major obstacle to global efforts to combat climate change, exacerbated by stalled funding for renewable energy projects from rich countries.
Southeast Asia has 50% to 100% of coal-fired power capacity locked in purchase agreements with about nine to 18 years left on average, according to data from the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA), a coalition of governments, businesses and other organizations pushing for coal use to be phased out.
Buyers in other major Asian economies, like China and India, also hold substantial long-term purchase agreements for coal-fired electricity, leading to underutilisation of wind and solar power in some cases, renewable energy experts say.
"Many of these contracts are often ill-suited to the demands of a modern, renewables-integrated grid," Julia Skorupska, head of secretariat at the PPCA told Reuters on the sidelines of the COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

私は環境保護には賛成だ。
西側先進国は、今まで環境破壊をしてきたのだから、発展途上国に対し賠償金を払うべきだ。
またもや西側は嘘をついている。
西側の主張は、二国間取引を廃止し、市場経済へと契約を移行させようとする試みだろう。
西側は、資源国から資源を安く買い叩こうとしている。
長期契約は、二国間契約で相対取引になるので、売り手も交渉力を発揮できる。
短期契約は市場で購入するので、売り手は最安値で売ることになる。
植民地に独立された西側先進国は、市場経済の導入という、新たな搾取方法を開発した。
長期契約は、売り手がプレミアム価格で売ることができる。
長期契約は、交渉力が対等に近づくのだ。

アングル：石炭依存の東南アジア、長期電力購入契約がエネ移行の妨げに

世界的な気候変動対策を進める上で、インドネシアやベトナムのようなアジア諸国の石炭火力発電への依存が大きな障害となっている。
気候研究者や再生可能エネルギー推進団体によると、クリーンなエネルギー源への移行がアジアで遅れている背景には、数十年の長期に渡る石炭火力発電による電力の購入契約があるという。
石炭火力発電からの脱却を目指す国際的な枠組み「脱石炭連盟（ＰＰＣＡ）」によると、東南アジアでは石炭火力発電容量の５０─１００％が長期の電力購入契約で縛られており、その平均の有効残り期間は９─１８年に及ぶ。再生可能エネルギーの専門家によると、中国やインドのようなアジアの主要経済国の買い手も石炭火力発電の長期購入契約を結んでいる。
ブラジルで開催された国連気候変動枠組み条約第３０回締約国会議（ＣＯＰ３０）に出席したＰＰＣＡのジュリア・スコルプスカ事務局長は、「こうした契約の多くは、再生可能エネルギー適合した新しい電力供給システムの要請に対応できない」と語った。
