The fact though, it was either allow for these nations to come up to prosperous levels or forever give them ineffective aid. As much as higher gas prices hit everyone, and particularly in the West with the knock on effect to working families of higher inflation > higher mortgage rates, perhaps it is needed in order to make it more economical for alternatives power sources to take off. I am sure no electric car company (of which there are very few serious ones) really sighs when gas prices go up. If they keep going at current rates, I predict within 10 years a large proportion of new cars will be battery powered or otherwise.
