So much for Big Gov't and Big Oil wanting to use alternative energies!

This read is absolutely disgusting! Makes me sad to be an American!

History of New Energy Invention Suppression Cases

Reading this reminds me of Nicolai Tesla and a few of his free energy projects which weren't promoted because it didn't include a meter.

Absolutely disgusting! This country is all about money, nothing else!

This is infuriating.

Progress being halted by raw and unadulterated greed. Utterly shameful.

I know, this is supposed to be a capitalistic society where people benefit from 'competition'.

This is such silly nonsense. Let's take just one example

Al Wordsworth: Electrical Generator and Advanced Carburetor

The details are sketchy and second-hand, but inventor Al Wordsworth had to contend with some type of harassment of both his advanced carburetor and electrical generator. His generator had an input of 3 amps at 12 volts and an output of 32 amps at 6 to 8 volts. He died, and it is believed his generator design is lost.
This would be the proverbial perpetual motion machine. It violates the 1st Law of Thermodynamics -- Energy is conserved.

3 amps times 12 volts is 36 watts of power in

32 amps times 6 volts is 192 watts of power out.

Only someone with no science understand would fall for this.

The author clearly stated "details are sketchy and second-hand".
