We are living in a decisive moment. Clean energy—solar, wind, hydro, and in the future even nuclear fusion—will bring unprecedented abundance. But abundance does not mean freedom. The more energy we produce, the more the State will feel the need to control consumption. What would it mean to have the air conditioning running 24 hours a day in the summer?! Imagine this: for a coffee to reach our table, it has been produced, which means energy was spent. In the future, you will have to compensate for that cost! But you won’t be able to drink infinite coffees. This is where CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) come in: programmable, centralized money, capable of limiting what we buy, when we buy, and how we use it. And if energy will be abundant, you will then have a universal basic income that you can use—but your entire life will have to be 100% controlled. This future is not science fiction. Governments and big corporations are already preparing technological infrastructures for that control: smart grids, biometrics, IoT (Internet of Things), artificial intelligence, and even companies like Palantir involved in global-scale monitoring systems. Now I understand why Nikola Tesla’s idea of wireless alternating current, which was even tested at the famous Wardenclyffe Tower in New York in the 19th century, never went ahead! This technology has existed for decades, but for some reason, it never moved forward. Henry Ford’s idea, 100 years ago, of having money based on energy (since it would be abundant), but outside the reach of the State, may have frightened those who exploit us and use Money as their product.
