Ken:

Well, of course that is debatable and would be the subject of a good
novel if Harry dies and LV wins, however unlikely we are to see that
outcome. As I see it a collaboration between Muggle scientists and
anti-LV wizards/witches would from a secret "Manhattan Project" 
in some remote corner of the world and invent a technology to 
destroy him. LV cannot possibly control the whole world.

Ken:

Remember that scene where Harry and Hagrid douse Hagrid's burning
hut with water from their wands, er, umbrellas? The amount of energy
that is required to create that water dwarfs the total energy in all our
nuclear reactors and bombs. The WW is sitting on a gold mine of cheap
energy that could indeed meet all the Muggle's needs without taxing
the WW at all. Wizards and witches just don't know enough about 
physics to realize this. ;-)
