text: what should i do if i may have solved the energy crisis but it may result in making the world much worse? you may not all believe me, and that's your choice and not my question.  my question is this.  i may have solved the energy crisis with a new unlimited energy source with no pollusion at all, but there is a problem.  releasing this technology will result in a global economic depression from everyone pulling stocks out of oil companies, which would cause more poverty and hunger and such.  also it will make wars more violent due to reducing the costs of a war.  if i save the world, i destroy it, basically, but if i don't, we have even more problems.  should i patent it and sell it, post the plans freely on the net, or just forget the whole thing? well then you really have not solved the energy problem have you???  you cannot pick on piece of the puzzle, lay it on the board and claim to have solved it.
