  Not sure why you are getting down voted. It's a valid question. Cheap, abundant energy makes in cheaper to produce and transport necessities for human life and allows us to invest more time into researching and improving the quality and availability of those necessities (food, clothing, housing, medicine, etc.). Haven't read through all of this, but it seems to have some similar ideas. http://www.resilience.org/stories/2009-04-20/peak-people-interrelationship-between-population-growth-and-energy-resources http://www.resilience.org/stories/2009-04-20/peak-people-int...
