What happens when Bangladesh fully modernizes and the average Bangladeshi consumes the same amount of energy as an American today?

This is the key. They don't want the third-world to industrialize.

There is an implicit assumption that "modernization" equates large energy consumption. Carbon emission of a German is half of that of an American, so are Americans twice as "modern" (whatever that means) compared to the average German?
