Wtf is this event? Last host was the UAE and now this place.

Aliyev is clearly on the defensive, a little nervous and frankly pathetic imho. The biblical argument of the planet as an all you can eat buffet has long been moot. Furthermore the fact that oil is still used does not mean the transition is not taking place.

I take heart at the petrostates’ flailing anger. They’re clearly annoyed and making a poor job at clinging to an unjustifiable status quo.
