Doug,
You don't need fusion power, of course. ANY source of cheap energy will do for
the processes you mention. What you are pointing out is that the cost of
energy is a multiplier ontop of every single thing that is produced. Generate
energy cheaply enough, and EVERYTHING gets cheaper.
Think back to the Carter Inflation Years – what, exactly, went up in cost?
Energy, of course, dependant on OPEC petroleum. Poor Jimmie got the blame for
the whole mess, and it was only partly his fault.
