M-ethane produces higher (Not much higher) BTUs per molecule because it uses a single hydrogen explosion to ? capture ? energy and deliver 'steam power' to turbines and otherwise.
Where that is defeated in the consumerism of the product lies in the volume and is relatively simple.
When the USA had a million people in its census and wood was used for fuel as they cleared the land for settlements, Earth hardly noticed. But, in a country with 300 million PLUS people and growing there is a higher and higher demand for electricity. Fossil fuels are no longer the answer. They are antiquated forms of energy and need to be discarded as a reasonable source of power.
Let's make this real simple although grossly inaccurate.
If from the beginnings of the USA there was a consumption of one molecule of fossil fuel per year per person that would be a 'sustainable' amount no matter the source for one million people.
Now.
There are 300 million people in the USA and for the sake of argument there is still only one molecule of fossil fuels consumed. Along with the increased consumption there is also destruction of biotic content to the country to facilitate that demand. The country has not only increased its emissions of greenhouse gases by 300 times its past usage it has less carbon sinks. Therefore, the amount of CO2 in the troposphere is STUCK there. There is less and less carbon sinks available for an advancing consumerism of fossil fuels and the country is in a negative feedback loop to the levels of greenhouse gases.
Now realize that is a highly simplistic view of the world.
Additionally, there are "Third World Countries" such as China and India moving into the modern age accommodated by Wall Street tycoons that see nothing but dollar signs and have complete disregard for the purpose of inviting them to these countries in the first place. There has been gross mismanagement by Wall Street of diplomatic hopes for these countries and the global economy is grossly out of balance, the poverty of the 'commons' is not being resolved and is increasing and returning to First World countries and everyone is LOOKING for the CHEAP solution.
Now realize that India simply love m-ethane . They have used it as a fuel for generations as they assassinated wives with kitchen explosions and found women set on fire in ritual funeral pyres and otherwise. Can you change that culture? It isn't easy and while there are more penalties by the Indian government for that 'behavior' there is also a love for m-ethane that is soon not to go away.
China on the other hand looks at its billion plus citizens and sees a challenge. They need and want CLEAN energy. Their cities have been carpeted in smog, their rivers have seen the death of dolphin species and while the Panda is a beautiful symbol of hope for China their environment is in sincere danger.
The mountains of China still are dense with forests, but, due to the people that live in those areas there is dearly little wildlife since it is hunted. I am quite confident there are extinct species we will never know about and that is true of the Chinese government. Their people are so numerous that even in its far reaches there will be mystery about their biotic history. Not that they don't love it. That is not the case.
The directive for nations, regardless of their so called 'status' as First World vs Third World is to realize they have to approach development of their people not as a "World Trade Issue" that allows domination of the global money supply, but, to put their people to work with good wages so their internal economic growth increases.
What has occurred with Wall Street 'free wheeling' it, is that the wealth of the USA was exported without any vision of sincere consumerism in places like China and India. China and India are exploited for their cheap labor without developing a Middle Class so their profit margins are excellent. The global market's troubles cannot be pinned on India and China as their 'democratized' leadership is extremely NEW to the idea of what a sincere 'free market' economy is all about and how THAT is sustained. As with any failure in capitalism it is Wall Street that is the villain. Greed vs consumer base. Greed always win out. Always. No vision, simply the bottom line.
The USA, the Chinese and the people of India really don't need them. The people need to realize their own power in producing and sustaining consumerism. What works for Small Local Business in the USA can and will work for China and India as well. With increased wealth in a Chinese and Indian Middle Class the issues of the Climate Crisis will be a priority and the methods of achieving energy independence for all countries will become obvious.
FOSSIL FUELS have to be abandoned and that should be a high priority for any leader today.
