There is a technology that, if successfully developed and made universally available, would transform the face of America and of the world almost overnight. Because the inevitability of that transformation is self-evidently true, the technology has been increasingly controlled and suppressed. The technology is sometimes called "free energy."
Consider this: the world is and has for a very long time been quite firmly in the grip of the oil companies, the multi-billion dollar multi-national oil barons who have a virtual monopoly on energy. What does that have to do with freedom?
A fundamental element of freedom is the liberty to move from place to place. The most common means of doing so today is the automobile. Virtually all modern automobiles run on some refined form of oil.
The ability to survive and accomplish our purpose is another significant element of freedom. R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller spoke of us having "energy slaves" that raise our standard of living. In Fuller parlance, an "energy slave" is the energy equivalent of a human being's work output, harnessed by some device or machine and placed in our personal service. The more energy slaves a person commands, the more comfortable and effective their life will be. Our problem is that, even if we have the machinery, we can ill afford to "pay" our energy slaves to work for us.
If we could afford unlimited energy, our freedom would increase, we could employ more robots and robotic devices (washing machines, refrigerators, automobiles, etc.) to serve us, to build things for us, to work for us. Abundant energy would increase our personal wealth and freedom.
Legends abound of lone inventors whose 200 MPG carburetors were bought out by the big companies for "further development." There are even plenty of tales of inventors who were "fitted with cement overshoes" because their inventions posed too great a threat to the powers that be.
In most cases, the truth lies somewhere between those extremes, and the methods and results are perhaps more evident. The most famous example is Nikola Tesla, to whom we owe the all-pervasive AC electric generation and distribution system that we have come to rely upon and many other technologies. When it was discovered that the device he was working on in Wardenclyffe, New Jersey, would have the side-effect of providing free energy to the entire population of the world, his financier "pulled the plug" and began a campaign to discredit Tesla and his ideas.
Here we are now in 2008, with gasoline on the threshold of $4.00 per gallon, heating oil busting the budgets of many, and electricity a substantial monthly expense. Are there any "technological saviors" on the horizon? I would like to bring one possibility to your attention.
Dr. Randell Mills of Blacklight Power has developed an extensive and highly credible new theory of matter called "Classical Quantum Mechanics." The implications of his theory are staggering. Mills claims that the energy level of electron orbits in hydrogen can be "micromanaged" with two very novel results: tremendous energy output and new and useful forms of matter.
If you compare Mill's new form of hydrogen energy with ordinary combustion, the company claims that it is about 100 times more efficient. Dr. Mills has said that the energy needs of an entire household for a year could be supplied from about seven ounces of water.
One of the most convincing evidences to me of the validity of Dr. Mills theory is the advent of a Blacklight Power spin-off company, Millsian, that offers software that runs well on an ordinary personal computer and is capable of solving chemical molecular modeling equations more accurately than supercomputers using conventional quantum mechanical theory.
Before those of you who are conventionally trained in the sciences dismiss this as nonsense, I challenge you to watch this 5 minute video presentation by Dr. Mills, and to visit the Blacklight Power company website and consider the evidence of their success. If you have some funds to spare or wield any influence with those who do, you might want to get in on the ground floor of a remarkable energy revolution.
Why, if Blacklight Power's results are so important, isn't there government backing and support? While I can't speak with certain knowledge, I have a clear opinion. Government as we know it today is completely incompatible with and antagonistic towards freedom. If Randell Mills is ultimately successful, government power will be diminished.
While Blacklight Power and Millsian represent some of the "cream of the crop," there are other "new energy" efforts in progress in many unexpected places. I hope to bring some of them to your attention as well in future articles, and so if you liked this article, please let me know with your "thumbs up" and your comments.

Anyways why no mention of the world's greatest, most efficient, and clean source of energy in Nuclear power? The US Navy has been using it safely for years.
New Energy Ideas are like trial drugs, the true costs and benefits are not completely known and there are always new dangers associated with them. A proving process and trials must take place before it can be released on the free market.
Alternative energy does exist, but it is not cheaper than simple oil and nuclear power. Until we can find a cheaper alternative to oil that we don't have to subsidize with tax dollars, oil will be king.
Increase use of Nuclear power would save countless miners who are killed every year attempting to extract coal for conventional power plants. If we don't wake up and start allowing more oil drilling platforms, refineries, and nuclear power plants to be built, our energy costs will become too expensive to afford.
I'm not an expert on quantum mechanics so I could not comment personally on the validity of Mills claims. However if it works why doesn't he just start building generators which work on this principle and sell them? There would be a huge demand for such things. His wealth would quickly surpass Bill Gates'.
It sounds more reasonable than anything else we have going on. The 'miracle' is the existance of a sub 's' electron orbit, and being able to drop hydrogen atoms into that orbit. That's the new and exciting part. As far as I'm aware science is completely unaware of any 'new' electron orbits. The rest of it is perfectly reasonable... Kinda the same way a floresent lamp works.
Uranium is much safer for the miners than coal. Since we pluck uranium from trees in enchanted meadows tended to by gnomes.
Well, this article probably qualifies as the highest "comment to readership" ratio of any article that I've published so far, with three generally constructive and contributive comments within the first 25 reads, for which I am appreciative.
The Wikipedia article (thanks, David S) is understandably skeptical in nature as it is always the tendency of the establishment to challenge, and often to ridicule, new ideas. The specific objections to Mills theory presented there all seem at face value to be nit-picking with overtones of ad-hominem attack.
Whether or not Mill's theory is precisely correct in every respect, if his ideas and processes produce energy and materials with new and useful properties, we have a "winner." It would not be the first time in the history of science where engineering application raced ahead of complete theoretical understanding.
Finally, the development of practical power plants at all scales is presently in progress according to the company website ( [Development] ) but it is not as trivial an undertaking as producing (or buying the rights to) a computer operating system, as did Bill Gates.
As to nuclear power, I have no particular objection and believe that it has gotten a "bad rap" - but Blacklight Power is essentially nuclear power, of a different and cleaner and more managable nature.
New energy technologies will surface, but until then, oil is still the cheapest. Oil companies know this. They can only jack the price so much as to discourage development in other technologies.
The price of oil today is high enough for them to make decent profits and recover their capital expenses in exploration, leases, drilling, refineries, etc. The price of oil is also low enough to lower the investments in other alternatives and make them too expensive as compared to oil. Once the price of oil becomes too expensive, then other technologies will become cheaper in relation to the oil and partially filled oil wells that were closed due to high operating expenses will open again thus lowering the price.
Supply and demand will still be king. Less govenment regulation and no subsidies is really what we need.
One more thing to consider:
Use your legs and your bicycle more often. You will be using your body fat and your food consumption as energy instead of the oil. It is also better for your pocket, your heart and your body. I have been doing that for a while now and after loosing 44 pounds since November and saving lots of $$ in oil and health related espenses, I feel great!
Freedom from oil requires some energy on your part too. And is it cheaper and not against any law.
It just seems too good to be true reading the website. And as you get a little deeper in it seems contradictory.
When a single electron jumps down one orbit, it doesn't exactly release a lot of energy. The difference between orbits is a single photon. For Hydrogen to release that much energy just by making the electrons jump orbits they would need to be jumping down thousands of orbits. It seems to defy conservation of energy, because it's releasing more energy than the electron posesses in a 1s orbit.
It also throws up a flag for me, that a lower energy state of pure hydrogen exists, yet has never been observed or created. This throws me because nature tends to the most random, lowest energy state it can reach. That would be like living in the middle of a valley, and the hills around you are piled with mole upon mole of ball bearings, yet you have never actually seen a ball bearing because none of them have managed to roll down the hills.
Finally how does an incredibly stable, inert, ultra-low energy state hydrogen atom interact with ANY other element to create componds, letalone replace carbon as a building block with virtually zero valance?
I'm not necessarily saying it's impossible. But there are a lot of holes that current quantum theory punches in it. Essentially for this to work it requires a total paradigm shift. In simple terms, e = mc^2 needs to be disproven to break the conservation of mass and energy.
Oil coal and gas are our biggest energy sources because they contain a FANTASTIC concentration of potential heat energy, and a readily transportable form, that already exists. As in we don't need to create it, it's just there. Oil is simply an incredible substance from a thermodynamic perspective. Without even touching on the abundance, there is nothing else mankind has created that holds that kind of energy density in a readily transportable form. There really is nothing in the forseeable future that can possibly replace it.
