This got me thinking about what we could and could not do if we had a magical a energy-unbottlenecker, say an infinite capacity battery with arbitrary power output.
These become much cheaper:
- Transport: synthesise fuel from CO2 + seawater. Or charge a battery.
- Water: electrolysis of seawater.
- Food grown anywhere: Light + water + fertiliser can be made from commonly available materials. Soil is a bit trickier, but I think you could bootstrap up with composting.
- Global warming: pull CO2 out of the air.
- Raw materials (concrete, metals): all cheaper to extract with free energy.
- producing medicine
Still really hard:
- making new treatments
- inflation of housing prices
- escaping earth's gravity (need bounce per ounce)
- world peace
- writing books
- politics
