if you go to war, better sure as hell not be dependent on your enemies for fuel supplies.
with the cabal, I hope.
Also, sounds like the queen over in England hasn't taken the Revolution and War of 1812 to heart. She may need a refresher course in history.
True, there is no 'free energy' once you build machines to make the energy useful. (While we don't have to pay the sun to shine, those solar panels do cost money…).
However, LENRs (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) are real, and Leonardo Corp's Energy Catalyzer (E-Cat) is a 1-MW working power plant making pollutionless heat at an input cost of perhaps 5% of the cheapest thing going now. You can hook it up to a Stirling engine and make electricity from the heat if that is what you want.
Brillouin has a similar reactor. Brilliant Light Power in NJ has a similar technology but they are producing light from their reactor at levels of brightness that rival the sun… then they use solar panels to convert the light to electricity. Also very, very cheap compared to conventional electricity, and with no pollution. Their reactor works on a type of LENR even though they call it something else.
These LENR reactors will reduce the cost of electricity by around 95%. It still won't be free but it will be a big improvement.
The LENR reactors I talked about are not based on Einsteinian physics.
There's a lot you can learn about what LENR is.
LENRs are not conventional nuclear reactions. They are neither fission nor fusion.
They are reactions which are catalyzed in 3D space-time which expand the natural vortices (within the limited space of the reactor) 'sucking' energy from higher (nonphysical) dimensions into the physical world.
It is essentially what amateurs call 'free energy' but I can tell you from working in the industry that building and testing a LENR reactor and getting it certified & patented most certainly isn't free. It takes a lot of money and so consumers will inevitably have to pay something for their electricity.
However if they can have pollutionless electricity for 5% of what they are paying today, I'd call that a huge improvement even though it's not free in the Bernie Sanders sense.
we'd probably have an easier time with normies if we started using the term 'breakthrough energy' rather than 'free energy'.
As you say, at the end of the day, we have to pay for the materials, the R&D, the regulatory expenses…
still, there is much improvement we can make over the current system. enough improvement to deserve the title of 'breakthrough'.
