This. Plus the output with nuclear fusion is greater than the input. We'd have unlimited energy. |
But couldn't we harness the energy all around us?

I don't think a spirit bomb is the answer here.

My guess is that in the future Earth will be so populated and polluted that when we'll have the technology to colonize other planets/asteroids/sattelites/whatever, we will leave this planet as soon as possible.
Problem is that only the rich would be able to, and the poor would be forced to either stay on earth, or live on the asteroids the rich have bought and treat them as their kings/presidents/leaders.

Population and power are good reasons to populate other planets though.

You've probably already heard of these supervolcanos that, if they erupt, could fill the entire world with ashes, which could lead to the extinction of all life on earth (including plants because the ashes would block the sun for a few years).
While I do believe they'd find ways to survive this, I don't see how they would remove all the ashes.
There's this island in Japan where there is so much volcanic activity and air pollution that everybody has to wear a gas mask 24/7.
And there are a lot more disasters that could happen which would pollute earth, like the ocean getting filled with oil, or nuclear powerplants getting destroyed by earthquakes.

If we haven't harnessed the power of black holes by then, then we're not worthy of being alive in >1000 years.
