The vast majority of problems facing the planet can be solved given extremely cheap energy:

- Need clean drinking water? Simply desalinate ocean water if you have enough energy.

- Need clean air? Various catalytic converters can remove most and in many cases all harmful molecules, they just cost energy.

- Need to sequester carbon? Sure we know how to do it, provided you have enough energy.

- Need to feed the world? We already grow enough food, the main problem is transportation of that food. Again, easy with enough energy and electric vehicles.
