Im not a republican therefore I am , concerned , not about the money but about the lives lost.
perpetual motion or FREE ENERGY will basicaly put an end to any
future wars that would have been fought over oil or the lack of oil.
as for the current positioning of wars centering around areas that have large oil reserves , that too will cease.
as you said there are many benefits from pepetual motion and these benefits will impact even the piddly small time problems you spoke of.
not only will there be no more oil wars but any wars that would be the result of a lack of drinking water would also be eliminated , because the oceans waters can be desalinized with FREE ENERGY.
there are so many new jobs waiting to be filed as we implement these new advances that you couldnt possibly think of them all.
