    So...

    If the government has found the answer to free energy, what do they do?

    Do they allow the oil industry to collapse?

    Do they allow the oil industry to own every patent for free energy?

    Do they take the answer to free energy and bury it?

    The correct, and fairly obvious answer is;


    The Government would give it for free, drive out the competition, then start taxing it.

    The government had the answer to free energy years ago. They forgot where they filed it.

    4. The government never finds the answer to free energy.

    When the early research suggests that a break through might be imminent they order the work halted and shift the researchers to looking at sea snail electrolytes instead.

    The only way you get that break through is if it is privately funded and there is a major profit incentive involved, making the energy not free.

    This is something that I agree with, in a sense. Although once they pull the initial researchers from the project, they will take that research, move it to a secure location, and continue the work.

    I don't think that they never find the answer. I think that is what they will convince you to believe.

    And don't fool yourself about privately funded entities. They are susceptible to workplace disasters that end up on the forth page of a newspaper that mainly no one reads.

    Its like Cancer, the cure for cancer is out there, but if they started curing people the multi-billion dollar business would collapse.

    It is pretty much like most physical ailments in this country. Consumerism extends to the pharmaceutical industry just as it does at the gas pumps.

    Free energy already exists, it's just very heavily suppressed, and nobody gets research grants for it. If the government put substantial money into geothermal energy research, it could change the world for the better. Problem is our economy wouldn't survive all of the oil companies going bankrupt, so they'll do whatever it takes to either repress the research or let the companies charge for it. In capitalism, profit is more important than our future, so don't expect any developments in free (or cheap) energy for a long time.

    That's another scam... throw in all the side effects that lead you to have other ailments. Caution this product in severe cases may cause impotenece, heart attack or death.

    It's not a scam if it is government-sponsored.

    I had a history teacher once who claimed that Goodyear had a patent on a rubber tire that could last 150,000 miles. With the governments help they sat on the patent and never produced the tire because of the economic impact.
