Shame, innit? They could be the n1 Solar panel producers per capita and panel exporters…oh well. This is why the charge against fossil fuels has to be led by net consumers (in the name of defense against geopolitical risk) and the producers will inevitably reduce extraction for export…but local consumption of coal probably will never disappear completely unless locals complain about air pollution and lag in exportable tech.

I’m not sure about beer (hah, I got it, the survey name), but vodka for sure: there are giant clouds of ethanol in space https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/51271/there-are-giant-clouds-alcohol-floating-space

Discovered in 1995 near the constellation Aquila, the cloud is 1000 times larger than the diameter of our solar system. It contains enough ethyl alcohol to fill 400 trillion trillion pints of beer. To down that much alcohol, every person on earth would have to drink 300,000 pints each day—for one billion years.

Sadly, for those of you planning an interstellar pub crawl, the cloud is 58 quadrillion miles away. It’s also a cocktail of 32 compounds, some of them as nasty as carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia.

Ok, so this vodka smells like old pish and bitter almonds :D
