And then donate some of the tech and resources, too. By virtue of being first, we've cut out the developing nations from the most direct path to improving their living conditions. We do, IMO, have a responsibility to help them leapfrog the "fossil fuel" part of that path.

(Though honestly, we can revisit that point later. First, let's get to zero emissions ourselves.)
