Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Nepal uses imported fossil fuels for transport and industry?

Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: a World Bank report notes Nepal's brick industry runs on entirely imported coal, a 2025 study says the transport sector still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, and a 2022 analysis reports complete reliance on imported petroleum products. None of the placed items covers both transport and industry at the strength the claim asserts.
