couple of things. One, when I work out a suitable power supply for the ETBC, i shall have another go at it!
The other "thing", is the notion of proprietary information. If someone has come up with a FE solution, the likelihood is that if it is any good, it will be suffocated in some way. Supressed, and etc. It sets a precedent too for the notion of greed - that is a direct benefit from other peoples forum contributions/ input. However, the biggest issue is the parochial notions of the Energy producers of their unique place in society as an Energy Supplier, therefore, they are the good guys. Regardless of what they charge for the supply of power or, as is quickly becoming a global concern, the method of power generation.
One would think that, as an example, that if Don Smith's devices were replicated and subsequently distributed throughout the world, then this would be cause for celebration! Climate Changers would be celebrating and consumers would be celebrating. The only ones not celebrating would be the small disproportionate number of energy suppliers to the populations that would financially suffer. And, literally loose their power!!
It is also possible, that a scenario could develop where communities would interact with their power supplies to either aggregate their energy and or be able to supply other member power if and when maintenance would be necessary. And so it would go, etc, etc ad infinitum. But, how would this revolution occur? Simple. plain straight out consumerism -"I want one too!!". Once this concept is realised all that need to happen if for the manufacture and supply and sale of the units which would be enabled for reverse engineering.
No secrets! Sure some people would make some money. Not every person is able to construct items. Think of all the new trades and small enterpises that would develop. It would be a cascade of innovation the likes of which would surpass anything that has preceded our current progress. The key result would not be a redifining of the economic power of energy supply, but, a redefined socio economic outcome where evryone benefits!
Too idealistic? Too altruistic? Well if I work it out, everyone will know!
