To distribute you need energy, no?

Per capita we have surplus of most every material and energy.

But the distribution is so lopsided that some end up with too much while some end up with not enough.

Adding energy to the system is no guarantee that we will fix the distribution problem.

The problem isn't technical, it's social.

There’s enough energy globally to feed everyone. The problem is food markets don’t function in warzones or some totalitarian countries.
