Furthermore, decreasing the cost of energy is likely to improve first
world economies sooner than it improves third world countries or
China, since we have more high tech, we have more ways to grow the

energy costs would be a tremendous boon to Japan, because they are
closing down all of the nuclear power plants.
You would be right if the focus of the ones in charge were to be on
lowering energy cost and gaining a higher standard of living for ALL people.
However I strongly doubt if that is what their real intention is.
I tend to agree with Alain and Edmund's (probably also Peter Gluck's)
perception of how the world is "managed".
Kind regards,
