I've been wondering if there is some kind of conspiracy for oil and against cheap or free energy?
Of course the government is screwing you. Using any form of common sense and logic we can see free energy = less money for the money masters.
Reason for that tough is we fight for oil all around the world, instead of spending the money on refining and inventing better alternatives.
Oil
In 1979 Congress, acting on Jimmy Carter's proposal in the aforementioned speech to create an energy security corporation did just that. This
corporation was named the Synthetic Fuels Corporation.

This corporation was designed to do one thing find and discover the viability of alternative energy sources. However, this organization was dismantled
in 1986 because they were no longer considered viable.
Falling world oil prices, moreover, have made it unlikely that the huge capital investments necessary for the development of commercial synthetic
fuel plants will prove economic in the forseeable future.
Salavging the Synthetic Fuels
corporation
Also in 1986 The US started using more oil than it produced, and the dependence on oil has increased year by year since then.
This tread concerns a possible oil conspiracy involving OPEC.
The increased need for oil even let the US and its gang into war. 18 January 2003 The Guardian in the UK predicted the war in Iraq:
War in Iraq is inevitable.
The US has paved itself into a corner. Its physical and economic infrastructure is so highly car dependent that the US is pathologically addicted to
oil. Without billions of barrels of precious black sludge being pumped into the veins of its economy every year, the nation would experience painful
and damaging withdrawal. Source
Could the military and companies behind be interested in keeping oil and not promoting alternatives?
31 January 2011, NY times wrote:
HOUSTON — Exxon Mobil, the largest American oil company, reported a 53 percent increase in its fourth-quarter profit on Monday,...
Exxon’s performance was in line with the strong results of most other large energy companies, which have benefited not only from rising oil prices
but also from improved margins in their refinery businesses. Source
Here we see one of the companies who got some interest in keeping free energy of the market.
The next section of the tread contain short introduction’s on various alternative energy source’s. If you dont want to read it skip to the
question in the bottom of the post.
Nuclear energy
A solution to the power crisis could be nuclear energy, but with Chernobyl and Fukushima in mind I’m not sure it’s the best of idea’s.
Alternative energy source’s
We already have some existing technologies that need an upgrade. Some of these are mentioned below.
Solar Energy
There’s a lot of advances in this field of energy. The existing technology is expensive and inefficient but with increased research we could refined
it. It has potential to cover a lot of the energy needed on earth, but the fact that the sun don’t shine 24/7 could pose an issue.
There’s a tread on ATS talking about solar textiles for as a cover on houses.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Kennedy uses 3-D modeling software to design with solar textiles, generating membrane-like surfaces that can become energy-efficient cladding for
roofs or walls. Solar textiles may also be draped like curtains. Getting wrapped up
in solar textiles
This could also be interesting:
Nanosolar coatings are as thin as a layer of paint and can tranfer sunlight into power quite efficiently. Imagine the possibilities, from solar
coated shingles to solar lined windows to solar powered cell phones and ipods. Solar powered buildings and homes might just become standard in the
future thanks to this innovative technology by Nanosolar Inc. Source
And
this tread discuss refining normal solar cell’s.
The most expensive, carefully designed, and complicated solar panels in the world operate at about 40% efficiency. That means that, for every bit
of sunlight that hits the panel, only 40% of it is turned into electricity.
Steven Novack of the Idaho National Laboratories came up with an inexpensive, foldable solar panel that may turn out to be up to 80% efficient

Wind energy
Is more refined than solar energy, and there’s not a lot of advances to be expected in this field. I believe some of the future advances will be in
vertical windmills (for skyscraper’s) and maybe seafarm’s with larger windmills. A problem about wind power is the initial cost’s to establish
the turbines.
The video below shows how vertical wind turbine’s could work.
Biogas
Is a less discussed issue on ATS. You can create
Biogas from bio-material’s like plants or dung.
In Denmark we have several biogas plant’s. Our resources is depleting and in 2010 we started importing gas from Germany, so were still not producing
enough.
Poop-power is not a new phenomenon, as methane-powered generators have existed for a while, and even larger scale developments have used poo-power
as a way to meet energy needs. But powering a state with poo? This is exactly what Californian utility PG&E has just started to do, by creating
natural gas from a vat of liquid-cow poo, in what is probably the smelliest (but smartest) way ever to produce any form of renewable energy.

Algae
Algae is a new potential great alternative to the current biofuels.
I could mentioned other renewable powersource’s like water power, wave power, osmodic power plants, Earthheat or piezoelectric generators in shoes
and pavement …..but I need to stop this tread at some point. Before I end I would like to mention a few of the sources that is less known and
investergated.
Less supported science
Most of the above methods is accepted in general science and even supported by some governments, but we have more interesting alternatives rarely
mentioned in the public.
Geothermic energy
Unless you live in Island or is a part of ATS
, you probably don’t know a lot about Geothermic power plants. This could be the solution many
places around the world. Free energy for electricity, heat and converting water into gas sounds like a Utopia.
… and it is, because you still
have to establish powerplant’s and refinery’s to transform the heat to other energy.
Iceland has energy to spare, and the small country has found a cutting-edge way to reduce its oil dependency. Volcanoes formed the island nation
out of ash and lava, and molten rock heats huge underground lakes to the boiling point.
The hot water -- energy sizzling beneath the surface -- is piped into cities and stored in giant tanks, providing heat for homes, businesses and even
swimming pools.
The volcanoes melted ice, which formed rivers. The water runs through turbines, providing virtually all the country's electricity.
Iceland wants to make a full conversion and plans to modify its cars, buses and trucks to run on renewable energy -- with no dependence on oil.
nd the First Country to Try Abandoning Gasoline
Cold fusion
Is another source with potentially free energy. The research in this field was abandoned by the mainstream scientist many years ago. There can be
multiple explanations for this. Maybe this “free energy = less money for the money masters”. Or because it’s a very complicated science, where
we need to do some basic fieldwork before it can be perfected….
Whatever the reason is I find it outrageous that they don’t pursue this field of science, when it potentially can solve the energycrisis, the
economy and lead to other interesting fields of science. I post a video from a long serie that try to explain the history physics behind cold
fusion.
I’m certain there’s a lot I did’nt cover in this tread. However the purpose was not to introduce You to alternative energy’s. Now that the
alternative is available and oil is becomming more and more like a hangmans nose i want to ask You
Is there a conspiracy to keep the oil industry
rolling and keep the alternatives as a sidenote? Because i dont see alot of movement towards the alternatives.
Last I found this video that I embedded because of its positivistic title “Quest for free energy”.
Edit: Thank's for putting it in the right forum.
