Not even that. People seem to forget that most utilized energy is eventually dissipated in heat in the atmosphere!

Any unlimited and extremely cheap energy source would only encourage more unsustainable consumption.

Not to mention that many industrial products that lead to pollution (e.g. plastic) are correlated to the cost of electricity. Give the world free energy and people will want a new smartphone every month.
