>>a very clear positive slope which shows a strong positive correlation between these two parameters<<

I did not disagree. but the point is that the degree of the slope in future would definitely change, as well as the upward trend for developed countries. The GDP in developed countries still will increase, although at slower pace, but the energy consumption would decline, due to other 2 billion strong population rushing towards industrialization and competing for the same pool of the energy, and the supply of oil is finite.

<<i saw a very interesting graph which showed per capita GDP on the vertical axis and per capita crude consumption on the horizontal axis. there is a very clear positive slope which shows a strong positive correlation between these two parameters>>
