Energy: what does Brazil lack?
The main difference between Brazil and the developed countries is about strategy.
Of course, developed countries also make mistakes BUT there is a very important characteristic that we do not have: planning.
Demand response, storage to mitigate the effects of the "duck curve", charging of electric cars taking advantage of the off-peak hours, and the list goes on.
We here in Brazil have a well-defined preference. We wait first for the problem to appear and only then go for it.
Being a leader requires a proactive stance. We, in principle, are reactive. And we pay dearly for it.
