Each of the 44 nations who joined the discussions contributed a membership fee, of sorts, to fund these institutions; the amount of each contribution designated a country's economic ability and dictated its number...

...implications of energy poverty in emerging markets and the potential power of nations who control supply. But he only provides two, broad suggestions to households: lead a personally sustainable life (Friedman, incidentally, lives in an 11,400 square-foot home) and work to change national leadership.
