A Morality Issue Poll

Why did you switch the times & order of our posts?
If you want to leave because people keep asking reasonable questions, then I honestly doubt you have anything of value to share.

When people like you start to talk BS it's time to leave.
You are not reading, you are twisting peoples words, and you talk about things you do not know anything about.

Yesterday i had some time to order my post because i was waiting for the glue....
And i do not have anything of value to share.

If you want to just ignore my perfectly valid statements & ignore my questions, that's perfectly fine by me. But I am not twisting your words, and if you think that I am, it might be because you're not good at expressing what it is you mean. "Yesterday i had some time to order my post because i was waiting for the glue...." What the fuck does that even mean?

you missed option 7

Make lots of vids put them on youtube etc and taunt everyone with it and laugh and say "look what i got" but then never disclose how it actually works!

LOL
I've thought of doing this also....
But it's too mean.

But I enjoy not being homeless.An unlimited power supply has an unlimited potential for doing work. Free energy doesn't directly give water, but technically could power a dehumidifier & extract water from the air. It would also provide heating, cooling, light & obviously power to computer automated machinery. Everyone could potentially be self-sufficient. The only thing left would be taxes. And at that point money itself would seem redundant without needing jobs or public utilities, except for stupid luxurious junk like ipods.

Also you could light and heat green houses and grow your own food.
That's one of my goals along with powering an electric car.

Well, the answer I would select, is not in the selection, and is a little more complex...

However, given the limitations of the selections, I had to say...

"I would give it free to mankind by posting all details on Internet"

The only issue I have with that, is it getting into the hands of someone with bad intentions, or with poor understanding of what they are creating. Can you imagine everyone having access to nuclear power plants details or dumb people trying to build 100,000,000Mv Tesla transformers!

So, if I had to write an answer myself, this is what I would have selected...

I would firstly keep my mouth shut. With the device in possession, I would exploit every legal method of "cashing-in", without risking loss of the device. This would include doing a grid-tie system, at any loan-cost to myself, hiding my creation under the false image of alternate energy creation available today. EG, I would have dummy solar-cells installed, rip down any southern trees, throw-up a dummy wind-mill, fake geothermal and solar home heating, throw parties displaying all my expensive technology that cost me little to purchase... because it is fake.

All the while, actually feeding my surplus power directly into the grid, waiting for that first check.

Once that first check came in, I use that money to propagate in other remote locations, using a larger scale setup, across multiple grids. (So as not to deplete only one electric company of hard earned dirty power generation.)

Once I had enough money to go global, I would call a national meeting. The meeting would outline my desires and I would work with law-makers to ensure that any required protections were in place for the situations below, and any national security issues were addressed.

Eventually employ all energy providers and the people working for them, one at a time. Making my new employee's jobs being the uninstallation of dirty-generators, and instillation of the clean generators, as well as training them to manufacture and maintain the devices. (Power lines would still be required, and require upkeep, as it is not logical to remove them and install dangerous devices left to public personal control.)

There would be only a minimal upkeep fee, where demand was "greater than majority average", since power is a necessity, for growth and acceptable suppression. (Eg, Think of it like minimum wage. Every person would be entitled to a "free" volume of electricity, which is enough to cover all necessities for living, and some luxury power too.)

Since it will be in abundance, or rather, of lesser creation demands, it would be more like sanitary water, or foods. Untaxed, but still regulated for safety and to reduce abuse.

It is unrealistic to think that everyone would want to spend money on one of these devices, and a power regulators, and classes to learn how to operate and repair them, and no-one would be giving them away free. However, at this point, with the kinks worked out, and the device simplified to its safest maintainable smaller parts, it would become public domain. (Thus, it would also not be a threat to the installments, as power would be cheaper than the sum of the parts you would need to create them. However, for those needing off-grid location power, or special needs power, it would be available to them.)
