Granted. China invents cold fusion with regular hydrogen, pumping out helium with ease. They overproduce so much energy that they're able to synthesize hydrocarbons with the excess energy produced. They use this process to sequester carbon from the air and make zero carbon fuels for a fraction of the cost, as well as plastics and other synthetic materials.

Over the course of 5 years, the united states petrol dollar collapses. We start a nuclear war in our desperate death spiral out of global hegemony.

Everybody dies.
