The problem with bringing in hydrocarbons from elsewhere, is that it will consume even more of the Earth's oxygen, and continue to add more and more CO2 to environment. A balance must be maintained. It would be better if a way is found to recover the carbon already in the environment first, and find a way to recycle it into usable products. Then, if there is still a need, then consider. The ability to recycle will ensure long-term survivability, let alone increased productivity, and advancement.
