So, what if it was?

I think that there is really only one thing stopping the world becoming equal, and that is energy. With free energy food, water, or any other basic needs will become absolutely plentiful forever. Unlimited resources for all. World poverty and hunger would forever cease. It is something that dreams are made of. As Greengold states "the cost of land vehicle transportation, which is so much of the focus in the press, would drop by 25%-35%. But, in addition, airline costs would plummet as much as 50%". (http://www.greengoldblog.com/2011/05/if-energy-were-free-and-unlimited.html). They go on to state "The price of food would drop and the availability of food would skyrocket. With free and unlimited energy, food could be grown affordably just about anywhere, given that water would be readily available and, where necessary, climate-controlled growing facilities would become inexpensive to operate".
So free energy would be revolutionary, but how?
At this point there is only a few potential options.

1: We install lots and lots of renewable's such as thermal solar power plants, large wind turbine installations and share these resources from country to country to make renewable energy 24hours a day. Rinse and repeat until there is a massive surplus in the world of energy. It is possible, and given the outcomes seams actually a fairly cheap option.

2: Nuclear Fusion. This technology is forever "just around the corner" from becoming reliable. If this technology would prove itself then it would be only the installation cost that the consumer/government would have to provide, afterwards, unlimited clean free energy. And after building quite a few of them they become cheaper and cheaper until the entire world has access to this unlimited energy. But this is still waiting on a break through in reliability. So, time.
So, its only a matter of time, but will we live to see a world that is completely saturated with energy???
