Anyway, what does prepping for unlimited energy look like? I guess, favoring electrical over fossil fuels. But for normal people and the vast majority of companies, that looks like preparing for mass renewable electricity anyway, which is already a good thing to do.
With limitless energy you can have "fossil fuel" synthesized from air and water [1] and use existing "fossil fuel" infrastructure.

could also be just massively scaling up energy consumption with little concern for efficiency (since limitless would imply very low cost), which would probably be a bad idea for renewables, and in case of not-so-cheap energy also very expensive
