Let make a short trip in a not so distant future and examine what will be impact of Free Energy in our life, and more specifically what technologies, activities or concepts will be made obsolete by Free Energy.
Will just assume, for practical purposes that we have 3 devices available. One as small as a matches box for medium energy requirements (like powering a house), one as big as a shoe box that could power a small city and a another larger one with really big power output. In other words, we have energy for every need and in whatever amount is required.
So I'll start with a short list from the top of my head, to which I will add later:
- gas stations would disappear (probably to be replaced with storage areas from where you can pick up a FE device)
- my hope is that soon enough teleportation would become possible, so cars would become obsolete
- gold would loose its perceived value, because with enough energy you can transmute other elements into gold
- the concept of "profit" would go away
- the concept of "work" would also become obsolete. I seriously doubt people would sit around all day, but rather start doing what they've always wanted, now that profit is not an issue
- I suspect the weapons industry would become obsolete or rather transformed to develop products you would need around the house (Fuller had a nice name that I can't recall for such products) or to work to clean the planet
- recycling and waste are another two that will go away. Today's "waste" is only waste because it takes to much energy to convert it into something useful or to store it safely.
I'll stop here now and let others chip in!
Is there something you do now that would be made obsolete or totally transformed by Free Energy?
