The problem that I see with free energy is the language. While free means we generally do not have to pay money for it, it is a misnomer for many other things. Yes there are conspiracies, daily and in almost every clan of man, ranging form a conspiracy about how to get rid of that spinach on your plate so that mom or dad don't know about it, to gasoline prices fixing. We just don't have the means to expose most of them.
Is there a worldwide conspiracy to keep (Free) energy off the market.. Not really. There are come conspiracies in place that will do every thing they can to regulate and tax it.
As far as the being a technology the exemplifies free energy,.,.well most of us ain't seen it yet. From my viewpoint anyone that says something can not be true is just placing themselves in a position to hear the words, I told you so.
There are so many things we have not discovered yet. The universe is a big place and we just now breached the pin point of knowledge to be learned on the earth.
Now when someone puts forth a theories or hypothesis, we can critique it only from our resources as individuals. For Instance I would never tell you that you could not grow snakes in your hair....after all I have seen pitures of Medusa. I do think it is highly unlikely though.
I am not open minded...but I do have an inquiring mind, I am willing to listen to both sides of a story and if it needs to be proved to me...Then I will undertake to assemble the materials to do prove it one way or the other. But for me to state that it could not be done...nope... I have seen some strange thing in my life happen that I would have bet high dollars that could not happen.
So I am not a skeptic either but you could classify me as researcher and a seeker. I listen to all but draw my own conclusions to myself. You never know when success is just around the corner for someone... and telling some one their idea is folly might be the worst thing you could do. Toleration is the virtue that all of us could learn. As to the spreading of Gossip..(what most folks do about conspiracies) it is best left outside of intelligent discussion.
Tesla was a learned man..but not infallible,. but we all can and do benefit from his efforts. I believe there is a lot yet to be discovered from his patents and designs, we just have to look a little deeper then the surface.
Well this post was to get my feet (foot, I only have one) wet. I have accomplished this so I retire for the evening. I look forward to the discussions and posts.
