a non-demanding public

A public that does NOT want something for nothing?

What population is this guy talking about?
Actually, what PLANET is this guy talking about?

He left out geothermal heat pumps for heating and air conditioning buildings. I just installed one in my house and it works great. It works like a regular heat pump except, instead of using a finned heat exchanger trying to cool freon with hot air on a 106 degree day it uses either water or a loop of coolant in an underground pipe. The ground is relatively cool in the summer (about 55 degrees f) and likewise, relatively warm in the winter. The system simply reverses itself in the winter for heating. In the heat cycle, the air comes out of the ducts at about 115 degrees, About 50 degrees in ac mode. The ground loop kicks the efficiency way up from an old fashioned air to freon heat exchanger. The heat/cool in the earth is free. All I pay for is the energy needed to condense it and get it into my house. My C.O.P. is better than 3 and it makes free hot water in the summer time.

He forgot to mention the one real great source of untapped energy: put a hyper-active two-year-old in a 'hamster-style wheel', hook it up to a generator, and power half of Los Angeles.

Anytime someone offers me something for nothing I grab my wallet and hold onto it real tight. Then I tell them to get lost.

If it was real, you dont need the Govt or even other scientists agreeing with you, just set up a shop and sell whatever whizbang machine has been invented. ... go ahead harvest static eelctricity or make cheap hydrogen. People would buy generators if they ran on 'free energy', industries want hydrogen for many application, etc.

It's why we know this is all chicanery. Yer making excuses instead of making money.

[TheLooseThread]

Hmmm. A free radical.
