You want poor countries to develop so they can collapse later? The larger the population and the more energy-intensive the economy of the world, the more glorious will be the Peak of the Age? Even though that means that the decline will be more like the fall off a cliff and less plausibly survivable for anyone? What a humanitarian you are! Can I help you pull people into the lifeboat? It'll swamp quicker that way!

the future i want is for the poor countries to
use some of the hydrocarbons as overhead for building
a sustainable and renewable economy independant of
oil and natural gas and most world trade.

i should have given more detail about developing a
hydrocarbon economy or a renewable economy

and rich countries should be using hydrocarbons to
transfer from hydrocarbon to renewable

Question:
Anybody find a good list of products that need hydrocarbons
and are acutally essential for a critical sector, like
medical supplies or powerplant parts?
