Dear Amaterasu,
Thank you very much for your worthwhile idea. I'm really pleased you offered it, it makes my day worthwhile.
I'm having a little difficulty, at the moment, thinking of the ramifictions, but I'll follow the path you've blazed and do some thinking about it.
Some immediate questions: What would I do with infinite free energy? It wouldn't be a currency, everybody has it. There'd have to be some
kind of machinery to direct it. How would I build a house with it? Make a hole in a lot and fuse the dirt to stone?
As I say, I've got a lot of thinking to do. Thanks a lot.
With respect,

You would use the energy to run Your home, Your electronics, Your (presently) battery operated things, Your car...
Industry would use it for all Their energy needs. As the cost of energy is removed down the line, eventually what is left is free.
Robots would use it - and We can build robots to do all the necessary work no One wants to do. Human energy for such things would not then be
required. This would free Us, as I said, to do what We want. - within the three Laws:
Do not willfully hurt or kill another Being
Do not willfully take or damage another Being's property
Do not willfully defraud another Being
(A Being (cap the "B") is sapient; animals are beings.)
So You could order a flying house (electrogravitics offers gravity control, too) for free and spend Your time doing whatever Your bumper sticker
reads, "I'd rather be [fill in the blank]."
Also, You might enjoy reading My (free!) science "fiction" novella demonstrating the abundance paradigm in action. It's linked in My sig.
Again, I will not link to My own threads, having My reasons, but search for "ethical planetarian" to see the seed I suggest for Our new free
society.
