Beam me to Planet Gore !
There is another scenario, a little darker.
Force the world, the “developing” world first, to have the sort of life style that goes along with an intermittent, low-density power source.
The rest of the world would gradually slide into that mode as continuous, high-density power becomes too expensive to maintain and no new plants are being built (only “sustainable” power plants will be built and coal/oil/gas plants taxed to near-death).
After a few decades of “global governance” and “global climate solutions” only critical factories and functions will have continuous power. One set of critical factories will be solar panel factories- these use too much high-density power, continuous power, to be powered by solar or wind. Global government and international police and the UN military will have all the power they need, and their arms will be forged in approved factories.
A few more decades after that, and everyone will think that the way they live is normal and right and they'll be glad that they can run a single CFC at night from their solar cell/car battery, and if the skies have been clear a small TV or laptop too. They'll be grateful that the house is over 40 in wintertime.
I base this scenario on conversations I've had with greens whose dream of a "sustainable world economy" is similar. Have you seen the picture of the Koreas at night? Lots of lights on in the south, a pinprick of light at Pyongyang in the North. A green from Dark Skies International looked at it and commented on how progressive and forward-looking was the North, to use so little power.
Think of the future as a boot, endlessly trampling a human face- in the dark!
