The Great Shift: How Free Energy Will End Wars and Poverty argues that the greatest obstacle holding us back is not a specific group or ideology, but a fundamental shortage of abundant, accessible energy. From the dawn of civilization to present-day geopolitics, conflicts arise whenever vital resources run low. Drawing on historical case studies, emerging technologies, and visionary ideas, this book makes the case that unlocking truly plentiful power—through creativity, computational leaps, and daring scientific breakthroughs—can end the cycle of scarcity-driven competition that has shaped human history. By seeing energy as the gateway to a new era of collaboration, innovation, and cultural flourishing, The Great Shift invites us to imagine a world where resource-based conflict becomes a relic of the past—and where our shared human potential can finally take center stage.
