Knowledge is power. This can be shown by the table presented below. Among the low income earners, the rich ones use Gas for cooking, Energy Savers for lighting, and Electricity for entertainment. This gives an average energy bill of US$ 18.28 per month. The not so rich use electric stoves for cooking, incandescent bulbs for lighting, and electricity for entertainment. This gives an average energy bill of US$23.64. However, the poor use Firewood for cooking, candles for lighting and a battery powered radio for entertainment. This gives an average energy bill of about US$75.93. This means that poor countries will remain poor if the energy issue is not transformed.
