Free? Who said that?
Nothing is free! I do not believe this would cause a degradation of tax income for the governments of the world. Quite the opposite. If a new energy source was discovered, there would simply be a repositioning of the tax base. The regulators of the world would be quite happy creating new taxes on the sudden exploding enterprise of creating new devices that would utilize this new source. It would be similar to the explosion of commerce of early 1900's. Nothing is new to the human condition, just different.
What is new is the Internet. You are starting to see it's effect on the world. Individuals in countries with less freedoms are seeing what the rest of the world has. This causes desire and disharmony. Then rebellion for change. The Internet can also be a good thing. The Internet can spread the news of a new discovery at break neck speeds. Something the regulators are not capable of. Politics take time. If this new discovery used common commodities used in mainstream commerce, then it would be impossible to isolate the materials to discriminate against the new discovery.
I would hope that our leaders would have as much sense as the ones in the turn of the 20th century when gasoline was discovered to be a manageable source of energy. This made many new things available to us like flight, automobiles and plastics. I can only imagine, the many new technologies that would be born of the adoption of this new form of energy. But it starts with the courage to expose it through usable technology. The timing is perfect. Lawmakers know that it will take some kind of beneficial distraction to keep their subjects under control. This can be that distraction. War does not work anymore. It breaks countries. Just ask the USSR, East Germany, UK, Roman Empire, to name a few.
Love and Peace to the World
