The Energy of Abundance:

How Sunlight, Water, and the Next Energy Revolution Could End Scarcity, War, and Want

This book is available on Amazon for $9.95.

What if the thing nations have fought over for two centuries simply stopped being scarce?

For most of modern history, energy has been a prize buried unevenly beneath the Earth’s surface — a geological accident that decided which nations grew rich and powerful, and which were left dependent, vulnerable, or at war. Oil fields, pipelines, and narrow shipping straits have shaped empires, toppled governments, and sent armies into motion.

The Energy of Abundance asks a simple but radical question: what happens when energy is no longer scarce at all — when it can be pulled from sunlight and water, virtually anywhere on Earth, in effectively unlimited supply?

This book takes readers on a clear-eyed, technology-by-technology journey through the innovations already emerging today that could make this future real:  
* Next-generation solar power — cheaper, more efficient, and even beamed down from space
Green hydrogen, made by splitting water with sunlight — and ammonia, the elegant, overlooked molecule that solves hydrogen’s biggest weakness by safely carrying it across oceans using infrastructure the world already has
 * Synthetic fuels built from thin air, chemically identical to jet fuel but made from captured carbon and clean hydrogen
 * The next battery revolution — from solid-state cells to liquid air storage that needs no rare minerals at all
 * Nuclear fusion — humanity’s decades-long dream of building a star on Earth, fueled by hydrogen pulled from seawater
 * Advanced fission, deep geothermal, floating wind, and the AI-managed smart grids that could tie it all together

But this is not a book of blind techno-optimism. Alongside a realistic, decade-by-decade timeline for these breakthroughs, The Energy of Abundance asks the harder questions: Could abundant energy actually end energy poverty for the hundreds of millions who live without reliable electricity today? Could it ease the water scarcity that drives so much regional conflict? And — honestly — what won’t it fix? Who might still be left behind, and who might still find ways to hoard a resource that was supposed to belong to everyone?

Written for curious general readers, policy thinkers, investors, and anyone who has wondered whether humanity’s oldest source of conflict might finally have a way out, The Energy of Abundance is both a guide to the technologies shaping our next century and an honest reckoning with what it will really take to get there.

The sun rises on every country. The oceans touch every coastline. This book is about what happens when we finally learn to use them.
