I've been reading a few controversial topics lately regarding this.

Apparently,

1) Very cheap/free generation of energy is readily available for consumer use but the technology is being suppressed by the oil industry giants to protect their interest.

2) As early as Tesla's time, his idea of a free wireless power transmitter to the entire globe was already being suppressed by one J.P Morgan, because he can't charge consumers for using Tesla's ideas.

3) This might be a bit wrong as I'm too lazy to Google for the source, but it goes something like this. According to James Maxwell's original 20 equations, energy exists even inside a vacuum and it is possible to 'harvest' that energy for usage.

4) Morgan was a businessman and not a scientist, but he had lots of advisors on science. He ordered them to reduce Maxwell's equations to the 4 'Maxwell equations' well-known today. The part about energy in a vacuum had been removed and till this day, not discussed in conventional textbooks.

5) There are plenty of other stories such as government cover-ups, murders/threats to inventors who announced their inventions to the public, reluctance of the scientific community to accept new ideas and one interesting case of the US company GM motors who destroyed their own EV1 electric cars which were highly efficient.


I don't know how much of this is true but I do find it very interesting. It seems that many (including me last time) would just blindly dismiss all this as crackpot theories, "violation of 1st law of thermodynamics", "you can't create energy from nothing" and won't even discuss about this.

I'm still holding a skeptical stance on this, but those websites do sound quite convincing. If this is true, who knows what else the rich and powerful are covering up. If the knowledge and technology exists, EVERYONE has the right to know. Science must never be suppressed for business interests.

As for my sources, they are mostly the top few hits on Google, searching terms like 'free energy'.

Welcome any opinions.

The word 'free' is quite open to interpretation. But before we go into a pointless debate on the word 'free', I do think it is acceptable for 'free' to include very cheap/low costs relative to current methods such as oil. It doesn't have to been literally, free.

As for the story on J.P. Morgan, here's one interesting one that I've read

I don't know how credible the claims are on that site, but it does make some good points. As for the story of Maxwell's equations, its on the same page.
