Free energies and bitcoin

Hey everyone I was going thru early notes from bitcoin basics and letting my mind wander this morning and now I have a concerning question…

i know that “PoW its important to make sure that miners spend money on electricity while mining to incentivize them to be honest, otherwise they would lose money”… so then what happens if/when free energies or near free energy becomes available? When their would be no money spent on electricity what would happen?

Haha, good question. Well, if there is an abundance of energy, I think the least problem we have is that Bitcoin will “loose” proof of work. I personally would “sacrifice” PoW for energy abundance. Also, we still have PoS to use for crypto currencies…
