Do you believe Free Energy/UO is real/possible/likely with current technology? (I would note that the 'created' .vs 'extracted from a seemingly unlimited and non obvious source' is a philosophical issue...

Yes, absolutely. There are lots of different unconventional technologies under active development with considerable success in weaning the world off oil dependence and cleaning up the atmosphere - photovoltaic, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal to name but a few. Not to mention conservation, which is the largest untapped free energy source one could ever imagine.

Since there is no way to 'explain away' many of the results that have been found with this device (you have just ignored these facts) beyond accusing the experimenter of lying, error or very poorly conducted experiments do you give this a chance of being the real thing?

"A person who says it cannot be explained should not stand in the way of the person who is successfully explaining it."

And counter an explanation by experimentation, even if it is just for yourself, attacking a serious attempt to explanation is lame.

What must be remembered by anyone being fair is that Free Energy has been discovered many times but failed to get a foot hold due to the hostile reception both from those that don't believe and more so from those that do and wish to protect various status quo's...

Yes, this is the part of your position that I'm having trouble grasping.

There are plentiful counter-examples. Numerous unconventional energy sources have been discovered, have been shown to have promise, are currently under active development and are receiving plentiful support and funding from governments and industry all around the globe. This seems to belie the conspiracy theory, don't you think?

One wonders what could be the difference between those actively developing sources and the already-discovered-but-suppressed free energy sources that you refer to. Any ideas?

No wonder you were accused of being another PBersonality, you sound like the parrot on his shoulder.
