It's also worth mentioning the support that Gaddafi had on the continent for his plan to boot the dollar out so to speak. Summat that literally couldn't and can't be be tolerated as it would be the last nail in the coffin of the US economy, too soon.
Lets not forget water and agriculture/food production also. The corporations want it all.
Heres a little about what Gaddafi did in libya with water...

The Great Man-Made River (GMR, النهر الصناعي العظيم) is a network of pipes that supplies water to the Sahara Desert in Libya, from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System fossil aquifer.
It is the world's largest irrigation project.
According to its website, it is the largest underground network of pipes (2820 km) [2] and aqueducts in the world. It consists of more than 1,300 wells, most more than 500 m deep, and supplies 6,500,000 m3 (6,500 megalitres) of fresh water per day to the cities of Tripoli, Benghazi, Sirte and elsewhere.
The Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi described it as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
In 1953, efforts to find oil in southern Libya led to the discovery of large quantities of fresh water underground. The Great Man-made River Project (GMRP) was conceived in the late 1960s and work on the project began in 1984. The project's construction was divided into five phases. The first phase required 85 million m³ of excavation and was inaugurated on 28 August 1991. The second phase (dubbed First water to Tripoli) was inaugurated on 1 September 1996.
The project is owned by the Great Man-Made River Project Authority and was funded by the Gaddafi government.
The total cost of the project is projected at more than US$25 billion.
Libya claims to have completed the work to date without the financial support of major countries or loans from world banks.
