Watchmen:Ozymandias-The Smartest Hero?

Ozymandias is called "The Smartest Man in the World" by his Watchmen colleague. In Watchmen the movie, he is introduced as a good-looking guy with neat suit and have tactful and deliberate behavior. He stop his superhero job to begin his business empire that working on the free-unlimited power/fuel research for everybody in the entire earth! The main assumption for this research is that "If everybody can have free-unlimited fuel, the world will be at Peace"!!. What do you think about this assumption?

If we try to think that the period of the movie is the time of Economic and Nuclear-War tension between USA and Russia, it may be possible that we can stop the Resource hunting war by the free-unlimited fuel. However, I think that this is not a good enough idea to show the cleverness of Ozymandias. Anyway, if you have seen Watchmen the movie, you must know that this is NOT the Real objective of Ozymandias! This research is just a part of his Big Plan for World Peace! You will know the real meaning of his quote "A World at Peace. There had to be Sacrifice", and you will wonder/surprise with his thought. Moreover, you will ask your self again and again that "Does he do the right thing?".
