raheel hits the nail on the head

almost correct raheel.

The future, war or peace will be based on access to natural resources....but......

It will be the technology that unlocks 'free' energy which will prove to be the key. The key to what?

The key to liberating humanity from the slavery to religions and all their attendant vices. Let's be honest here.
Two of the three major Abrahamic relligions are tied to the middle east; all three of them trace their roots to that not so holy land. The faith that gave us jihad is the same faith that gave us the notion of chosen people-whether by racial descent or through the election of god.

The sooner that nonsense is put to rest the better.

When we can pluck enough hydrogen from the air to run our cars, cool and heat our homes, power our machines and keep our internet humming then the absolute humor noir of religions will be put in the museums where it belongs.

But where will the technology for that great revolution come? Bill Gates was just the beginning.
