At first, obamium was used in weapons. Each nation had a stockpile of obamabombs that could end the world in an instant. If war ever broke out, it would be Mutually Assured Destruction.
Slowly, but surely, obamium was being used as a technology of peace instead of war. Obamium reactors powered 100% of the world's energy, which was sustainable without destroying the environment. Coal and oil were a relic of a violent past, full of struggle before the miracles of obamium.
Brand new Obamium cars rolled out of factories in the billions, replacing traditional oil powered ones. They had zero emission, and would never need to be refueled because they were powered by pure obamium ore. War was still an existential threat, but no one cared about it too much because of the technological revolution obamium had created.
When oil ran out, it was no issue because everything from a toothbrush to the kitchen sink it was stored on was powered by obamium. Sure, incidents did happen, but they were under control because there was no veil. The whole world knew about the wonders of obamium, with no secret for the government to hide.
Life was better, all thanks to obamium.
