In 2009 I am having solar panels installed. It will be a financial stretch - but it will reduce the size of my 'carbon footprint' and hopefully make my power bills a little more affordable.

Why isn't the fitness industry doing more with the energy I create on the eliptical machine, bike, rowing machine, etc? Living in an apartment, it seems to me that if my hour on the eliptical each day was connected to spinning a few turbines, I would generate more than enough energy to make me energy independent. I'd think this is a win/ win since people are motivated to exercise to save money, curbing the obesity epedemic, and reducing greenhouse gasses. Why don't we hear anything about human power? Even if the technology isn't there, remember just a few decades ago it took a computer a block long to do what can now be done on the head of a pin. We're all generating a lot of electricity when we exercise, why isn't Life Fitness trying to harness it?

This is really old technology that has been known since the 1800's, several patents exist concerning this topic. Ford had an electric car in the early 1900's that went 100 miles per charge. Several inventions such as the carb that runs on 100% water by splitting the H2O in to hydrogen and oxygen. Chrysler had a car that got over 60 miles pg back in the 50's, it somehow disappeared out of public view. The J-cell that runs off of protons collected from the air was proven to work but disappeared. The problem comes from Rockerfeller's statement which was basically "I won't invest in anything I can't put a meter on". If everyone becomes self sufficient in energy, then someone won't make money. They are working at hydrogen cars in terms of storing hydrogen in fuel tanks, making it so you must purchase fuel from a vender. They are not looking into having cars create their own fuel eliminating the fuel pump/station. For about $200 most cars can be converted to run on hydrogen produced from a small hydrogen generator attached to the engine, no storage tank or fuel cell needed. When I get a chance I'll turn my truck into a hydrogen hybrid. The technology and info has been available for many years. Several big businesses have put false info out there to throw people off as well making it look like their's is the only answer. If big business will lose money by consumers being self sufficient, it won't happen. One by one we might make a difference, at least in our own little world. Learn the truth and then spread the info to the common folk.

New?

Unless he has improved the efficiency of the solar cell or fuel cell, there is nothing new here! Photovoltiacs have been around for decades. Producing hydrogen and oxygen from water can be done by anyone with a cup of water, some empty containers and a power source. The cost and efficiencies involved with current technologies makes this a poor way to power anything except remote locations where running power lines is too expensive.

However, efficient solar energy production IS the ONLY viable long term solution to our energy needs.

In Australia, the large concerns do try to stop us from taking steps to conserve. When I enquired about using grey water from my washing machine (I am careful about my detergent) I was told that I would have to pay a few hundred dollars to get my soil 'tested' first.

And the group 'managing' our water wanted to charge home owners who had rain water tanks!

Crikey- and here I am in the driest state of the driest country in the world!

I find it encouraging how many seem to have heard of Tesla - perhaps his suppressed free energy and terribly sad story will be more well known in the next few years. If ever there was a victim of big industry smear tactics and attempted writing out of history it was this man, and we owe him plenty. Think the lightbulb was invented by Edison? Think again...

I have a friend in Southern California who has a solar system set up on his roof. It is portable (or at least it can be taken down and moved). He got tax rebates and a triple discount and it cost him around $12,000. He gets all his electricity, air conditioning etc. for free, and a small check from $5 to $50 each month from the power company. Since life in the next decade is going to be very different we need to get with this ASAP. As far as Tesla's invention, and as the 1998 movie CHAIN REACTION dramatically showed, free energy is to radical to allow on the world scene. While it would be a boon to civilization on this planet it would upset the apple cart of the powers that be and has apparently been suppressed each time it has been "reinvented'. Perhaps after WWIII what's left of the world will be allowed to use this and we might even eliminate starvation. After all we cannot rape the planet forever or we will have no place to live. As it is we have just begun to experience the current economic downturn and ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE WORSE THAN THE GREAT DEPRESSION. I do not feel qualified to give any short term advice except to have your money in something real, and to keep your cupboard full of non-perishable foods, if at all possible, and if someone invent's something please keep your mouth shut and don't try to get rich from it. Just share it with your friends. A 100 mpg auto was 'invented' in England over 20 years ago and it carried 3 people at over 100 mph. It had no fancy hybrid technology just a 3 cylinder turbo-charged engine and extremely low air resistance. Undoubtedly it was bought for a lot along with a non-disclosure agreement. Remember, even Howard Ruff has said, extra food is better than money in the bank, when the inflation of the recent give-aways comes to bear, or words to that effect. There is much to learn to survive the scarcity of the future but there is time if we get busy and don't waste it. May God bless us all. No one else is going to do so.

Call me what you will but I happen to believe that "Cold Fusion" worked, and the powers that be suqashed those findings.

At 82 I may not be around to enjoy the benefits that the new technologies will provide. However, my children will undoubtedly still be here, I hope.

Thanks to Dr. Mercola for providing us all with such useful information. I certainly enjoy it.

If everyone lived like we do in the US, the world would have collapsed a long time ago. Pretty cool story above though. This is where the private sector is to our benefit, because individuals can get this for themselves. Once you turn a company public and openly trade it, anyone can buy it and shelf it (see the Olshanskiys in 'Who killed the Electric Car?' He's also developing super thin solar panels). My prediction is that suburban sprawl, urban centers, malls, they are all slowly dying and we are returning to the community based economics of the old days. This will be a big blessing if we can have individual energy ownership (ie, a truly free society, govt. not telling us where to buy energy) and if we stop believing that consumerism will make us happy. Even I believe somedays that fancy sports car will make me happier than I am now, but it's just the voices around us telling us what to love and want.

Alternative energy is great, the problem is that it is irregular. Hopefully the above process will help with the problem of storage.

It's not JUST big oil (it's too simplistic to pick one institution or one group of people and blame them), It's the money institutions behind big oil. Big oil makes a reasonable 8 - 10% profit, though the number are BIG. Big oil does not control the price of oil, they are just a controlled cog in a bigger wheel. They are not allowed to drill for more oil anywhere they KNOW there is lots more oil/gas in the US but are sworn to secrecy by the US gov't re this oil & gas (200 - 300 yrs. supply). In addition, the gov't forbids the development of the Green river , Baakan, and other US tar sands (another potential ca. 200 yr supply). The gov't is petrified that the major foreign oil producers will go off the dollar standard for oil thus eliminating the ca. 45 yr old agreement to purchase of the US national debt w/ 30% of the oil profit (for 30 yrs) if we replace their income w/ our own oil. But the agreement to defend them will also go away so the M/I complex is involved too. Gov't's support of global warming appears to be part of the smoke and mirrors too.

I've been following this so called free energy thing for 15 yrs. Beardon has nothing but talk, lots of it. HHO is just a mix of H2 and O2 and appears to work by improving combustion thus upping the efficiency of IC engines enough to compensate for the electrolysis energy consumed. People that really do appear to be on the path to something promising APPEAR to be intimidated by thugs but ????.

There is one FACT that is eminently clear when it comes to the gov't, M/I complex, and the money institutions behind the them; "THE ARE DIFFERENT AT EVERY LEVEL" and no one below the upper levels has any clue what the real truth is, including me.

If it's free it will never fly! Why doen't some pseudo philanthropist like Bill Gates, George Soros (ha!) or Al (Wh/G)ore or Donald Trump spend some of his 'hard earned' money to bring this to the world?

It is inevitable that someday in the future, most likely sooner than later, all our energy will come from a combination of SUN, WATER AND WIND. Earth has an abundant quanity of all 3 and they are free, we only need to efficiently convert them to our uses, which is now being done on a small scale but will soon be done on even larger a scale.

The problem is, as mentioned in a previous remark there is no profit for the big energy producers with these forms of energy, but the pendelum is swinging slowly in favor of the masses and eventually those that are determined to continue ripping us off and lining thier pockets with our money will be eliminated.

We have the technology, we can now run our cars on hydrogen, anyone can convert thier present vehicle to run partly on HHO (water) for $300, and power our homes on wind or sun, it is being done now. It is just a matter of being cost effective and doing the conversion on a large scale which is not far off.

Once the masses wake up and say enough is enough the energy giants will no longer be able to suppress these technologies and when that happens the Earth and its population will be better off.

Solar energy is a very sensible source of power, however Nickoli Tesla wanted to give he world free electricity and it has been "suppressed" for well over 60 years. Investigate that!
