... and more specifically how do you think it would affect how people in society interact w/each other? More so, how would it affect interaction between the genders (Female and Male) and gender socialization/gender politics?
Lol at absolutely NOBODY engaging with the premise of the question. Guys. And Gals. If you don't have anything to say about the topic, like you can just skip it. You don't have to post on every single post.
Highly Questionable, yeah I like your speculation. I think your ideas would be natural consequences of super cheap airplane and rocket fuel.
I'll play.
If say, fusion was discovered, and we had access to an order of magnitude more energy than we do now, I can imagine there would be consequences for the tourism and hospitality industry. You hit the nail on the head about cheap flights.
Naturally that would mean that romantic destination getaways would be more popular and accessible than ever. You could imagine teenagers taking their high school dates to Aruba. You can speculate that society's moral standards would lax even further and parents wouldn't insist on chaperones. Or you can just take it as the class of young people that are usually broke and can't do exciting stuff like that would, and they wouldn't feel as if they weren't as legit as more wealthy older people.
Anyway, ocean desalination would be a thing. Construction would be more feasible in more isolated parts of the world. Like I said, tourism would expand, and the hospitality industry would expand with it.
Heck, excavation and mining might change. Maybe ladies wouldn't demand diamonds anymore because fusion allowed mining tunnels to kick into overdrive and diamonds just became too cheap and common to con young grooms into signing away half a years paycheck for one.
Cheap energy also means just down the line basic improvements in living conditions. Nobody would have to worry about the choice between their air conditioner bill vs rent during the blistering summer months. Nobody would freeze to death in the winter. Maybe couples under financial stress would get along better.
It's basic sociology that people have more babies in times of good economies. With our energy needs a solved problem, maybe our birthrate decline would cease and even turn around. Could you imagine people having compensatory salaries and families like the used to back in the 50's instead of being serfs for globohomo?
On the negative side, ocean desalination would mean the end of droughts. So no more sexy shared shower time with my girlfriend to conserve water!
Hang on. You're not here to pitch your perpetual motion free energy scam are you?
You're confused.
Technically speaking; thermal, wind, hydro and solar energy are all "free energy sources" as they cost nothing i. e. - natural and renewable energy sources.
But rather, it's the infrastructure to tap into them, that costs money. Sure you can jerry rig off grid, and small scale equipment, to tap into them for cheap. But to run a country you need energy to scale, and a means to control that energy nationally. However, most countries run an electric grid and all energy sources power that grid.
Oil, gas and coal are the main providers of electricity, and are easy to scale to a country, and easier to control centrally. But they are unnecessary as cleaner natural energy is more readily available
Right now, renewable energy is being held back by American barons. Mainly as their economy relies on oil refining and mining.
Until America is either broken up, or collapsed, the world cannot move onto cleaner energy. So really, it's America that needs to go this century, just like Soviet Union had to go last century, for the world to advance to the next level.
How exactly would it be free?
Lets say someone discovered perpetual motion, or some form of cold fusion or better energy source.
Someone has to get 'paid' to build the machines to harness and collect that. Thus nothing can be free.
There there is the infrastructure to get it delivered, assuming it is still delivered from power plants by wires to home.
Even if Tesla towers are built everywhere, someone has to build them.
If everyone has their own mini power plant in their home, someone has to build it.
Of course it depends on what types of resources are needed to produce, and/or capture the free energy. Whatever those are, be it metal, wood or whatever... will still be in high demand.
Lets just say though that energy magically appears and no one has to make anything cause some mysterious force provides it all for us. I can't really see how it would change how people interact, as most people don't talk about energy, fuel or things like that.
People will always find a way to slap a price tag on something. âFreeâ source is solar, wind.. oil.. but you still have to harness/collect and store that energy.

Free energy sources have already been discovered, and some of those people ended up dead for it, that's why we're still using oil and paying for electricity.
A guy in the early 90s created the first water-powered car and was literally killed by poisoning on the day he was going to patent it. A European dude in the 80s (from the Balkans I think) came up with a system of garbage being turned into fuel. He turned up dead too. An Indian guy in the mid-200s - and I remember him on 60 Minutes - invented something called a "bloom box" that could power individual homes. A little bit later you stopped hearing about it entirely. Look it all up.
Free energy would change the world in some majorly positive ways. Poverty would most likely be non-existent. Pollution would be low. Weather phenomena like 100 degree summers in Europe and tides taking over island countries wouldn't be happening. And our overall health would be less affected by burned fuels in the air. But the people at the top keep it this way to capitalize on money. And who controls money? They do.
Free as if "put coin in and it spins infinitely"? Not possible according to the laws of physics.
Free as "like nuclear fusion but stronger, safer, and easily accessible"? We would either kill eachother for the resource nods or we would expand into the universe (if it were usable as propellant).
It wouldn't. It'd actually be how will governments, corrupt politicians, and big corporations find a way to monopolize the resource to make money. Take water for example. It's not a free resource even though every single living thing requires it to survive. If air were visible and containable we'd be living in that Justin Timberlake movie where life is a currency.
I don't think it would. We've had the tech for some of that for DECADES but, we're still not using it and the government is suppressing it as much as possible!!
What would free energy have to do with males and females or how society reacts to one another?
You would have to tell everyone how to get it quickly. If your the only ones with the knowledge someone would kill you. A lot of greedy powerful people out there making a lot of money off energy, they burnt down Nicola Tesla's lab for similar reasons.
it would put the global elites and most big bankers and business corporations out of business for sure. which is hell for them and heaven for and I doubt they would ever let that happen
Nothing that is free would remain free in a capitalism society. Government will build laws to tax it and restrict it to a special group as always.
It's called the sun and oil and gas would like you to forget it exists.
Youâll never see that happen. Any discoveries of such a thing would be suppressed and the scientists disappeared. None of the ruling elites want free energy. They donât want âfreeâ anything. Why give away what they can charge people for?
How would a free energy source affect how the sexes interact with each other.
It will never happen. Capitalism rules the globe. Nothing of value remains free for long.
The big oil companies and the global warming scam artists would work together to make sure it never sees the light of day.
Except for the bureaucracy and logistics, Nuclear is. Yes, it can.
Tesla already discovered it, he wanted to tap into the ionosphere, they have cable that runs across the ocean floor so one coming from space might be possible?
Depends heavily on whether it would require centralized generation (like nuclear fusion) or was highly portable.
The issue isn't the source so much as it is the means to use and distribute it.
I donât think it would bother the different genders but business owners of energy would be mad since they would lose money on their power products
It's gonna cause some more wars.
The government would kill it.
It wouldn't be free for long.
