If energy is cheap and plentiful, things like clean water and fuel are a lot easier to make.
Depends on how clean the energy source is.
Arable land is also less of a problem when cheap energy can be used to make fertilizer.
Arable land is less of a problem though there is a finite amount of it and not all of it can be used no matter how much energy you have. Access to fresh water remains a problem which is somewhat alleviated by energy availability. Excess use of fertilizers are a problem all their own. Petroleum based fertilizers (which most are) are a serious pollutant and no amount of cheap energy will make them less of one. Like fossil fuels used to power equipment they have a big upside but at a serious environmental cost.
In any case the point is that we fight over MUCH sillier things than the very real concerns of scarce energy resource.
