In addition, a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) process was organized with decision makers who were given the full information/ data on externalities. Such differences are a robust finding across MCDA carried out among utilities and policymakers, both in Europe and in China (Hirschberg and others, 2006, 2009). Such results do not bode well for full-cost pricing solutions to clean energy, because the binding constraint will be socio-political rather than techno-economic. In 2009, most of global fossil fuel consumption subsidies amounting to $312 billion were in developing countries.
