The Industrial Revolution wasn't that long ago, ok it didn't get off to the best start - availible renewables were there at the time for implementation, but they also remain so availible.
I say the turn towards not using what would have avoided any fuel issues at all was the conspiracy - an attempt to stop a global civilisation that worked fine.
These other conspiracies that get mentioned are mostly involved with the aftermath of all that - see, now they can stick NWO onto slave-world and resource-wasting.
I mean NWO only as applied to the idea of this being one world, and it's round. It's stupid to think any other way than Global ; what's next, pretending we don't revolve around the Sun?
