Energy Secretary
Hey guys. Interesting reading. Thanks Jib.
You know, I was watching Energy Secretary Chu tonight speaking on CSPAN at a small cities conference. Nice to have a sincere nerd rather than politician up there! I liked your earlier Free Energy conference idea. The thing with forums is that, once they're more secular, all you get are these trolls wasting our time. Moderators and users wind up arguing with blogger hacks on the payroll of energy companies, etc. Here, you're all devotees. We're like nerdy Trekkies. You don't send skeptics and mockers into a Trekkie gathering; for it's pointless! Facebook and these other blog outlets are a good way of spreading the word. YouTube, especially.
Have you ever thought of mixing a Free Energy conference with the annual EV gatherings? Check out the Electric Vehicle Association and their forums. They have a newsletter, too. SF Bay Area conferences at times. I would love to attend one down the road.
The places we really need to lobby are the eggheads at DARPA, DoE, and DoD/SBIR (also NASA's SBIR).

Free Energy technology should focus on making appearances -- even if uninvited -- at places like this. Set up your tables. You can always set up a conference table for some hokey pokey device on the surface (to get past any filters) and then pull out your wild machines right there! Thing to be careful about is entering into any contracts with the feds for piddley money and which gives them technology suppression rights on behalf of competitor interests. DoD needs these technologies, too. But, before you ever position to sell them anything, it's always best to make it totally impossible for them to steal from or cheat you.
For example, most inventors think of patents right away, but that's stupid to do at the start. All you're doing is feeding foreign spies at USPTO details on how to build your devices faster than you can commercialize them. Then, on anything Energy-related, you're looking at about an 80% chance Armed Services Patent Advisory Board will try to stuff you with a bogus secrecy order on behalf of the energy cartels or for just keeping it Defense secret. And so they take your work while paying you nothing and ...maybe a decade later, if you can prove damages and find a lawyer to work the case...maybe you'll see b.s. compensation. So, I don't bother with any form of focus on doing business with the federal government. I wouldn't even bother with their conferences until your technology is well spread into more places than can ever be squashed and once you've briefed many key politicians and business interests. Then, the pressure is on them not ever to screw with you or they face Congressional inquiry and loss of their jobs, demotion, firing, public scandal, etc. That's the GS twit's greatest nightmare. Don't assault the castle until first positioned to conquer it. Like that, you can be polite and, when they offer you piddley funding, tell them to go to Hell. But, just keep showing your wares at their conferences and everyone else's conferences.
My view is that Free Energy talk, blogging, and activism doesn't sell the goods like demonstration does. Demonstrate the powerplants. Demonstrate levitation. Show up to conferences in stupid-looking Trekkie costume rather than a suit. Scatter all sorts of Star Wars and Star Trek props at your table along with the "controversial" products, and all these skeptical eggheads won't be so intellectually threatened by your work. Remember, half the issue with rejection of Free Energy concepts is mostly from nerd ego and know-it-all factor coupled with lack of demonstration and proper presentation.
Make videos of your stuff and get it to this new Energy Secretary in full bypass of his staffers. For example, had you known in advance he'd be doing this small cities conference, you could have pulled upon a key contact there to hand him a DVD while quickly playing a 5 minute video for him on a cell phone PDA. Five minute demonstrations and explanation, and no more. If they want more detail, then you send them an executive summary no more than a few pages -- preferably all just video so they don't have to read. I don't do white papers for anyone free, particularly government. And nobody cares to read much anyhow. People want to be dazzled. So show them the wild stuff! Have you seen The New Energy Series? That's real activism!
All this forum stuff is great for our exchange of techo details and ideas, but, for the average Joe out there, they prefer YouTube sort of things. Facebook and Myspace will help you get the word out, but you'll also find that these places tend to be mostly an exercise in on-line vanity pages and voyeurism. YouTube and video are the wave of the future. All the more likely to grow in popularity as this new administration foolishly tries to stealth re-institute the Fairness Doctrine in squashing of talk radio and leverage of Fox News. There is Demand for truth and real news, and so Supply adjusts.
Whole problem with all this Free Energy stuff is that, outside of a few goofy ads you see in the back of Popular Mechanics, nobody pays any attention to such things. It is only from YouTube and research suggestion by others that I began to give Tesla's work a second look and to study up on Free Energy concepts. Seeing is believing. Had I been confined to the world of scattered websites, dreary text, and not able to see how a whole world of experimenters out there are having fun playing with this stuff....I'd have dismissed it just like the eggheads in Govt. do.
This new energy secretary is serious on the greenie thing. He's smart. He understands the value of what he calls "transformative science". He's not a politician. If you're going to lobby anyone, I'd suggest there and with just polite petition and continual mailing of videos. Swamp him with stuff, and always in bypass of his secretaries. Make it so that, wherever he goes, it's like receiving a subpoena by surprise until he's sick of hearing about Free Energy. But, if he's a real nerd....he'll like this stuff. Keep in mind, also, that he grew up with Star Trek nerd stuff. I was looking at his picture he put up of himself at age 32 at the conference....and that, gentlemen, looked to me like a Star Trek / Star Wars nerd!!! He was even posting Earth from the Moon pictures in his presentation in order to sell his greenie ideas on climate change, so, as I was saying....sell the Starship Enterprise angle to this stuff at all times!
