       The second issue is associated with the way in which the energy
       transition is carried out and who will pay the costs. The energy
       transition, driven mainly by large companies, foundations and
       governments from the global North and emerging countries towards
       supposedly "clean" energies, puts increasing pressure on the
       global South. For China, the United States and Europe to move
       towards defossilization, new sacrifice zones are created in the
       world's peripheries.
       There are several examples of this dynamic: the extraction of

       and lithium for the production of
       high-tech batteries for electric cars brutally affects the
       so-called “lithium triangle” in Latin America and North Africa;
       The growing demand for balsa wood – abundant in the Ecuadorian
       Amazon – for the construction of wind turbines demanded by China
       and European countries destroys communities, territories and
       biodiversity; and the new push for megaprojects of solar panels
       and hydrogen infrastructure further increases land grabbing.

       This process is beginning to be known, in activism and critical
       academia, as "green extractivism" or "energy colonialism": a new
       dynamic of capitalist extraction and appropriation of raw
       materials, natural goods and labor, especially in the South.
       globally (although not exclusively), with the purpose of
       carrying out the green energy transition. In this article we
       argue that energy colonialism is the centerpiece of a new
       capitalist consensus, which we will define as the
       "Decarbonization Consensus . " This is a global agreement that
       is committed to changing the energy matrix based on fossil fuels
       to one without (or with reduced) carbon emissions, based on
       "renewable" energies.
