It's your type of thinking that makes me think human kind truly is some kind of virus..."spread and multiple"...go ahead and plumage and destroy the Earth...I couldn't care less anymore, dirty humans can live on a dirty planet, it suites them.
Well, yes, that's one way to "solve" the problem...I wrote a thread on a similar concept actually...Will humans provoke their own demise?
When the earth cant sustain us we'll die off. It takes care of itself.
That would be part of the positive benefit...
I mentioned free energy on the basis that having it would limit the need for resource consumption assuming that it was an exotic form of energy that was clean and easy to replenish. Being a limitless source would allow for more time to be allocated to the education of the populous as it stand to date to better live in balance with the world.
And this helps get to the reason why free energy may be bad...I agree they wouldn't use much, now imagine if the whole world suddenly had free energy...we would go crazy...and could very well advance, multiply and spread so fast that it inevitably does more harm than good...there's always a catch isn't there...
Concerning the depravity of the world in poor nations I would personally like to think that since the poorest countries have less they like wise consume less. I can in a general sense prove this to a small degree if you request.
Yes, I completely understand that, and I wasn't implying you want to develop such a thing. Your motive in this thread is obviously a good one. I am for free energy myself, and you will see me argue that the Government posses it, and are criminals for not releasing it.
This is not a free for all kind of thing I'm talking about.

I want to make it clear that I am not for developing something that would lead us into further decadence making the problems worse.
The homeworld and capital of humanity is entering a new golden age. The resource wealth of a dozen settled colonies and a hundred industrial outposts flows back to Earth, fueling great works of industry, commerce, and art. The great cities are greening as arcology skyscrapers and telecommuting allow more efficient use of land. Earth is still divided among nation-states, though all are affiliated beneath the overarching banner of the Systems Alliance. While every human enjoys longer and better life then ever, the gap between rich and poor widens daily. Advanced nations have eliminated most genetic disease and pollution. Less fortunate regions have not progressed beyond 20th century technology, and are often smog-choked, overpopulated slums. Sea levels have risen two meters in the last 200 years, and violent weather is common due to environmental damage inflicted during the late 21st century. The past few decades, however, have seen significant improvement due to recent technological advances.

If that is not the description of a virus species...I don't know what is...and your picture is a false hope, you think some how we will come out of all this with a nice pretty green city like that? DESTRUCTION <> UTOPIA
Then you move it to another planet. The fact is you are thinking with limits set on this planet, rather then the whole galaxy.
