Energy costs vary widely across the world and that has enormous capacity for the economies of different countries and their industrial capacity.

Electricity looks pretty even. Higher in Europe but they can afford that.

Due to purchasing power parity, it is actually much hhigher in poorer countries, in that they are absolutely still asking the have nots.

When something is expensive specifically because a country is poor and everything is harder to buy, that expense isn't making inequality worse.
