The few wealthy countries of Germany, Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, other EU countries, and the USA, representing less than one of the eight billion on Planet Earth, are mandating social changes to achieve net zero emissions in their small worlds within this planet. The wealthier countries are committing billions of dollars in subsidies to support the wealthy countries\u2019 chosen winners to achieve net zero emissions, i.e., wind turbines, solar panels, and batteries to store electricity when weather conditions are unfavorable to wind and solar generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wealthy countries\u2019 wish to rid the world of crude oil, coal, and natural gas without replacements in mind is immoral since extreme shortages of the products manufactured from fossil fuels will result in the tragic loss of billions of lives from diseases, malnutrition, and weather-related events, both in the developed world and in developing economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unbeknownst to the wealthy countries, over 2 billion people in the world<\/a> must collect firewood or animal dung to cook, and close to 800 million live without electricity<\/a>. They comprise the bottom of the pyramid of the world population, along with 80% of the 8 billion<\/a> population on this planet that make less than $10\/day. These billions of people cannot subsidize themselves out of energy poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The billions of poor in the world also live in countries with virtually no labor laws or environmental laws to protect their landscapes and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future prosperity of these billions of people in developing countries is contingent on their economic advancement through the rightful access to harness the foundational elements of any flourishing economy, i.e., the strategic use of whatever energy sources may be available to them, including fossil fuels, for electricity and to enjoy the products and fuels that are the basis of all modern infrastructures, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
