The industrial revolution precedes oil by at least a century.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')f the rich nations are made so by oil, but still 80 percent of the world population lives in dispicable poverty, there is no hope for continued technological advance of human society.
I don't understand this statement. As it stands today, there is, and has been a lot of technological advancement, along with widescale "despicable global poverty".

Given the future decline in FF resources we will have to switch to other, cheaper, more abundant forms of energy such as fission and biofuel. This will also entail a switch to more efficient mechanisms, and a dead-end to the service aspect of energy production. Those who control these services now are trying to get as much cash as possible so they can control other services after theirs has become much less profitable.
Essentially, the rich know that in a few decades the world will be faced with just how cheap energy has become, so they need to procure as many services as they can now to insure they're still rich after the transition.

The industrial revolution precedes oil by at least a century.
Of course, but coal is just as much as a fossil fuel as oil.
Oil and gas seem to be really necessary to our modern way of life though...
People are a bit too focused on oil on the boards... that's all..
