Fusion is the first step to a post scarcity world. All the new technology, products, agriculture methods, ect. that would be made possible with abundant, clean energy would completely transform the world. I doubt solar and wind could ever provide enough to make those advances.
Scarcity isn't a supply issue, it's a utilization issue. They way most economies work, resources are not created if they can't provide maximum financial return.
The first step to a post-scarcity world is changing that mindset.
That's a much taller order than you make it sound. It'd probably be easier to figure out fusion.
That's not how it works. Then you might have figured out basically unlimited clean energy. But it will still not be provided to everyone who needs it but only to the selct group that pays the most to have that advantage over the rest.
The things most worth doing are rarely the easiest.
If you actually want to accomplish something sometimes you have to tackle difficult problems.
This response has nothing in terms of actual value, but Checks all the motivational speaker boxes. It's not reality you struggle with, it's your mindest, bro!
