What should happen is that entreprenneurs in developing countries should try and learn from the mistakes made in the past, and look for oppourtunities to make money where the Western industrial machine is weaker, not just by cloning their practices. And first world countries should, of course, take the lead in developing cleaner sources of energy, instead of bombing counties that have oil left in them.
