If that $1.5 trillion had been used to fund renewable energy instead, photovoltaic panels and wind turbines would already be in mass production at affordable prices for most homeowners, and the electric car industry would have been able to stage a major comeback.

For the last couple of decades, the electric car industry has languished due to the introduction of the hybrid car, the “compromise car,” as I call it. Instead of going from gas-powered cars straight to all-electric vehicles, which was the original plan, auto manufacturers decided to take an in-between step in deference to the fossil fuels industry and create the hybrid. (See the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? for more information on how auto manufacturers deliberately sabotaged their own electric vehicles.)

As a result, three misperceptions about electric cars have persisted to this day: 1) They’re too slow. 2) Their batteries won’t go far enough on a single charge. 3) Their batteries take too long to recharge. This was partially true 20 years ago, but no longer. Recently, the Japanese built an electric car called the Ellica that can out perform a gas-powered Porsche from zero to 100 by almost two seconds! So much for being slow.

And as far as batteries being a problem, the technology has come a long way in recent years, and if the money is there for more research and development, the battery technology will be perfected, and the electric car will become the ultimate driving machine, i.e., a vehicle that is affordable, fast, pollution-free, economical, and stylish-- all in one package. And the best part of all, American drivers will never have to pay $3 a gallon for gas again. At the end of the day, they will simply plug their electric vehicles into their solar and wind-powered homes and recharge their batteries for nothing!

This has always been the dream of environmentalists: a non-polluting energy source for their homes and a zero-emission vehicle for travel at a cost that would be reasonable for everyone. Of course one person’s dream is another person’s nightmare, and this green scenario is anathema to the fossil fuels industry. It means they would lose their economic and political stranglehold on not just America, but the entire world. Which is why they’ve been bullying mainstream news organizations for decades and paying off politicians at the beginning of each election cycle.

Naturally, there are plenty of cynics around who say it will take 50 years for renewable energy to make a real difference in our energy consumption, and we’ll still need good old gas, oil, and coal as our primary sources of energy in the meantime. Of course, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy if we just sit back and do nothing, but if we change our energy policy dramatically, we can transform our entire society in a relatively short period of time.

As proof, consider this: In 1997, the Danish government began an experimental project on the island of Samso to see if it was practical to use various forms of renewable energy for all the island’s energy needs. Their goal was to accomplish this in ten years.

Remarkably, they finished ahead of schedule, and today 100% of the island’s electricity is generated by 11 one-megawatt wind turbines, while the rest of the island’s energy needs are met by using solar panels and other forms of renewable energy. True, it is easier to convert a small island to renewable energy than a large country. But the point is, the technology is available, and with the proper financial incentives and a full-scale commitment from the federal and state governments, the United States could break free from fossil fuels and be well on its way to becoming a land where solar panels, wind turbines, and electric cars would become the norm in ten years.

The only thing it takes is the political will to stand up to the fossil fuels industry. I know that’s asking a lot. But in view of the perpetual wars for oil in the Middle East, the increased awareness of global climate change, and the high cost of gasoline at the pump, maybe, just maybe, enough Americans will get fed up living under the greasy, smelly, polluted armpit of the fossil fuels industry and look to the sun and the wind to guide them to a cleaner, safer, brighter future.

Hooked on oil

"Big Oil" is a gang of crooks. They have NO interest in "green" energy sources. Ruthless bastards all, they will, indeed, conspire to keep the earth hooked and thoroughly screwed.

Americans Responsibility

If all the lazy Americans get off their ass's and become proactive we could stop much of what is going on with the corporatocracy and the politicans that work for them which are probably most of them. We can't expect the greed driven corrupt corporations to do any thing that is the "Right thing to do" nor can we expect our government to do anything because they are sleeping with the corporations. Americans have to make it perfectly clear that this behavior is no longer exceptable with their government representatives.

Peak Oil is their Christmas

For more than 150 years oil companies, many of them the nascent Seven Sisters have sold oil for little more than the value of the dirt and rock they extracted it from. As recently as 1973, which was right around the time we hit peak oil production in the United States (see Hubbard's Curve), crude oil's average price was $4.75. Inflation adjustment would make this $22.12 in today's dollars.

Now at $96.00/bbl. (a barrel (bbl.) is 42 gallons) and likely to trend ever upwards, why would you think that these cutthroats would let anyone ruin their party? They have their needs foremost in mind and readily acknowledge that they need us as an important part of the equation, because who else would be enough of a nitwit to pay through the nose to buy a Hummer, so that they could pay through the nose to fuel it (supposing the fuel remains available at any price).

Slow as we ever have been to wake up and realize that we're being mugged, Big Oil has a realistic chance of charming us out of our last dime to pay for the last pint of crude oil that they can extract. Combine that with the fact that our "public servants" see Big Oil as all the public they'll ever need, and you can understand why they busy themselves scrambling for Big Oil's crumbs instead of pursuing alternatives like they would if they weren't traitors.

So, buckle up and sit back, America! It's going to be a terrifying ride!

The Conspiracy against Renewable Humanity

Nikolai Tesla was ‘De-funded” by J.P. Morgan in 1906, this after Tesla had demonstrated the unique ability of extracting energy from the ‘Cosmos.’

Dr Henry Moray produced 50,000(50 Kilowatts-KW) watts of energy from this same source in 1930, what we today refer to as the “Cosmological process.’ In dollars and cents that’s about $120 worth of electricity, per day, from one small unit that he invented.

When Tesla was asked by a reporter, “Where does the energy come from that you are producing?” Tesla responded, “I don’t know, but I am glad that it is there.”

Dr Moray was asked the same question as Tesla, and responded, “I don’t know, but I think that it has something to do with the different size of particles in our universe.”

In 2003 a research project conducted by members of the Russian Academy of sciences, determined beyond the shadow of a doubt, that excess energy had been detected in a cavitation pump, that was manufactured and sold, as a home heater in the Russian Republic of Moldavia.

The team of researchers was headed by physicist, Dr Lev Saporski. After reviewing the results of the team’s work, Dr Saporski commented upon the excess heat produced by the Moldavian heater that; “it may be a demonstration of a device that is somehow accessing and tapping into the ‘Zero point field.’”

In the spring of 2004 Dr Eugene Mallove (1947-2004) announced publicly that “we are now only a few months away from ‘unlimited amounts of clean heat and electricity.’"

As for the “C” word, we are now 100 years and counting from the beginning of the “C” back in 1906, when J.P. Morgan and his cohorts, decided to block research into obtaining what has come to be called “Free Energy.”

The Energy will be Free, though the machines to produce it will range from a few hundred dollars, up to billions of dollars to manufacture, construct and install.

Once installed, we will be able to produce a “Harvest for the world.” All with no negative environmental impact.

The resource starved world of Malthus and Darwin, will become but a quaint reminder of the past. The ‘Master classes’ plans to destroy human populations, can be retired for good. Their plans are not needed.

Zero Point Energy, is here and now. For the techies: The Zero point field is actually the planet’s combined inertial fields.

Though these fields are ‘Static,’ they can be and are accessed by employing the relativistic shift of a particle that is accelerated.

Accessing the 5th Dimension, according to the Kaluza-Klein theorem(1938) allows for the production of ‘Torque’ at the ‘Plane of the Dimension.’

For example; At 60 % the speed of light, the clock rate of an electron or any particle, runs at 80% of it’s original clock rate, or time.

The earth is in motion at 18.5 miles per second. In 1 millionth of a second-1 microsecond(1ms/)-the earth moves at about 1 inch.

For instance, In 5 ms/ the earth moves 5 inches. If only the electron is accelerated to 60% of the speed of light, the clock rate is then 80%. The nucleus of the atom remains operating at it’s original clock rate and has now moved 5 inchs in space.

The accelerated and time contracted relativistically shifted electron has departed out inertial reference frame and now according to Kaluza-Klein, has “Accessed the 5th Dimesion.”

When the electron returns to the 4th Dimesion-because it's high velocity has changed it's clock rate- it has moved only 4 inches, and is now 1 inch away from it’s rest (orbital shell) position located near the nucleus.

The nucleus attempts to ‘Torque,’ due to the destabilization of the nucleus that has been produced from the time shifted electron, and this twisting causes the ‘Static’ zero point field, to pump energy into the nucleus until the field strength level is high enough to return the ‘time shifted’ electron to the 4th Dimension.

The energy is then collected and deposited into the machine in our original inertial frame of reference.

Sounds complicated, and it did take this writer about 50 years to figure it out, yet, it was known to a few scientists many years ago.

John Von Nuemann wanted to investigate this in 1950. He died of brain cancer at the tender age of 53, in 1955.

Gen. MacArthur gave a speech in 1955 and mentioned “tapping in the power of the ‘Cosmos.’”

Much of this; was known at the high levels of this “continuing criminal enterprise,” known as a government. So when we talk about the big “C,” yes it is true.

The supposed resource base struggle that we are in is a phony; like everything else about our elite. Phony, yet more dangerous than most folks can comprehend.

The question you may ask yourself is; “If there is no need for war to gain resources, then ‘Why were nuclear weapons built?’”

In 1946 The insiders in the Bank of England gave the go ahead for a full scale nuclear build up. “They” decided to destroy humanity in total; based upon the notion that “Self sacrifice is a necessary component of survival.”

If you can understand that there is no need for war, it is merely a “Selective strategy” of human predation, then the Extraterrestrial hypothesis makes it’s appearance and is then somewhat easy to understand.

Why are 40,000 nuclear weapons poised to destroy the human race on a moments notice? This is the “C” with a Capitol “C.”

The plan to exterminate us all is still in place. The nuclear “Trigger” has been pulled on us; several times over the decades.

Bush and Cheney have pulled the “Trigger” on us a couple of times already. Once the nuclear threat is ended, if we are still alive, false resource wars will be a thing of the past.

Unlimited clean energy is here and now. The conspiracy against renewable energy, is one part of the overall conspiracy against renewable humanity.

I think its not a Conspiracy

I think the prices are high because they are encouraging people to go after renewable alternatives. How else do you make change? You think low oil prices will move the effort along? Not by a long shot. The Oil companies may be getting richer from high gas, but I think they are as much interested in renewables as anyone. The only conspiracy is our own self inflicted imaginations. How can you disprove this?

Just Business

I've been covering this subject for almost 30 years. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, oil companies bought out many of the start-up solar companies and then let them die on the vine.

It's just business to them. They want to keep their monopoly in tact. Why would they want to develop and sell renewable technology when they can make billions year after year selling non-renewable fuel?

A dose of reality for you.

You wrote:

“The primary reason is because the cost of renewable energy is still relatively high compared to fossil fuels, although the gap is closing as the cost of natural gas and oil continues to climb.”

Well, there you go. If I am offered two prices to get from point A to point B and one method costs me twice as much out-of-pocket money, I’ll choose the less expensive way. That is to be expected. You however do not want me to be able to make that choice. You want to “mandate” that I live according to your set of rules.

If there is a conspiracy keeping renewable energy from us, then you must be a part of it. If solar and wind energy are such good ideas, why are you refusing to get together a bunch of like-thinking individuals, seek venture capitol, and become the richest people on earth?

If your renewable energy is so wonderful, it will be readily accepted in the market and you will make Bill Gates look poor.

The reality is in your own words. Alternative energy is not competitive, therefor there is no place in the market for it, with but few exceptions. Wind energy is costly in terms of all the hardware involved and the high maintenance costs. The turbines are also V E R Y noisy and kill birds. Solar is all right is some parts of the country, however in the Pacific Northwest where we have so much rain and clouds etc., it will be quite a long time before it becomes cost effective.

So many people think that electric cars are so wonderful, without considering that much of the electricity used to charge their batteries is produced by burning “fossil” fuels.

Solar panels on people’s homes would have to be cleaned to keep them operating efficiently. If every home had such an array, my guess is that 1000 people would die each year in the USA falling off their roofs while cleaning them.

The real solution is a technology called magma tapping where water is pumped into a deep hole in the earth and it returns to the surface as steam. The steam is then fed through turbines to turn generators. Large centralized plants could be built and the existing grid of electrical transmission lines could be utilized to distribute the power. That is the future. That is a technology that is doable.

Using force and violence (taxation and mandates) is repulsive to those of us who love liberty and freedom. Perhaps your ancestors did not fight and die in the American Revolution. Mine did and I refuse to kneel down and worship at the altar of large intrusive government. If that is the kind of society in which you want to live, perhaps you can move to North Korea. Please keep your socialistic/fascist schemes away from the USA.

Fossil Fuels Talking Points

Congratulations, Mark, you have enumerated almost every talking point and piece of propaganda the fossil fuels industry has disseminated over the last 30 years!

Do you get funded by them, or are you so brainwashed you can't see through their propaganda? You say your ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War. My question is: Which side did they fight on? Which side do you think Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Father would be on today-- the side of large fossil fuel corporations who monopolize the energy industry, gouge the public, and pollute the atmosphere, or the side of independent renewable energy companies fighting to give individuals clean energy that would break up their monopolies and help the environment?

we need renewable energy

Limits on carbon footprints and tax incentives for producing renewable energy must be met with the same intensity that putting a man on the moon became in the 1960’s. It will create jobs and help stop global warming.

Zero Point Energy and Cold Fusion

Thanks Patrick!

Why no other comments about Patrick's comment? I am glad that he has "discovered" the truth. Others are toooooo lazy to get off their duffs and learn a few things. I hope others will discover the truth also. Tesla said that he could deliver free energy to the WORLD - the Moneychangers - read JP Morgan (aided by the "renouned" inventor Edison) - shut him down. Dr. Mallove was pioneering free energy - yes - Cold Fusion which the US Naval Laboratory comfirmed exists as the two Utah physicists reported. These scientists were belittled as was Tesla. Dr. Mallove was executed. With the Cold-Fusion process - and a bit of Palladium, a very small amount of electricity - wallah - hot water. Heating water consumes the most energy in these US states. Hot water => steam cars with no pollution and unbelievable speeds.

There was a large ZPE conference in Switzerland a few years ago. Many distinguished scientists from all over this planet attended. Even those from the USA. ZPE devices were demonstrated! The Japanese won the ZPE contest. Why no report in the controlled MEDIA about this event? Strange!

These was a ZPE developer web site a few years ago in Research Triangle Park, NC which warned that ZPE could be used in small sites - homes, cars, etc. - BUT not in large generating sites like cities, states, governments. If something goes wrong with the electronics at a large generating site - wallah - no more city, state, WORLD. A large site disrupts the ZPE field in the immediate surroundings. Ask the Soviets what happened with one of their HUGE Tesla "over-the-horizon-radar" sites - they were spying on US - and what its collapse did to Chernobyl! Actually, WE were very lucky with Chernobyl as some of the "TESLA" field energy was sucessfully disipated, bled-off, before the final collapse. The vicinity around Kiev is now "hot" but it isn't a crack in the world or a new mountain range or a huge, huge volcano! Scary, huh!

Check Tom Bearden's web site!

http://www.cheniere.org

BTW, Tom Bearden and friends have patented a 100-over-unity MEG (Motionless Energy Generator) zero-point device. 100 times more juice out than in. Patented! It holds a US Patent! See the MEG at the Bearden web site. Any interest in funding its development? The OIL folks along with president Cheney aren't interested either BTW.

Believe what Patrick states! There is a conspiracy involving energy. There is a conspiracy to decimate the population of this world - check out Club of Rome! For the fun of it check this out: http://www.rense.com/general77/chinsec.htm

What a crazy world!
