India has 1.4 billion people living at vastly different income levels, and millions are still in poverty. We can't ask people to worry about carbon emissions when they lack basic electricity, clean water, and jobs. Countries like Britain and the US industrialized without strict environmental controls—they got rich first, cleaned up later. India deserves the same path. We need dams, highways, factories, and coal plants now to lift people out of poverty; environmental regulations can come once we're developed.
