Question: What causes a war?

An answer is offered here.

People don't fight over unlimited resources.  They fight over limited resources.  That's what I think.

There's little reason to fight over the air we breathe.  It is freely available to all.  But people will fight over water and food.

It would seem that unlimited supplies of water, food, and territory could lead to lessened tensions and fewer wars.  The conquest of energy can provide all these things and more.
