[snip] You mention "disruption" is if that were a bad thing. Some economic disruptions are highly beneficial, and this is one example. In fact "improvement" might be a better word than "disruption" in this case. There should be "no doubt" that virtually unlimited cheap energy would provide a tremendous economic boost to every nation on Earth, not to mention the added bonuses of limitless fresh water (through desalination), a reduction in the greenhouse effect, and a huge increase in the feasibility of waste recycling, to the point where essentially all waste can be cheaply recycled, resulting in a huge reduction in environmental pollution.
