There are far too many reports from a wide diversity of sources including many high quality sources about there being 3-4 DIFFERENT essentially free energy technologies kept under warps for decades. I think there's far too much smoke on that score for there to be 0.000% fire.
What and when something will come to light and actually reach consumers is clearly unknnown by mere mortals.
The issue reportedly is that the puppet masters have always insisted on centeralized control and distribution of power, energy for social and political control reasons.
Certainly logical. And, also, something the global government will be doing more and more in worse and worse ways. Just imagine Shrillery's attitude, goals and mentality multiplied a few times over, at least.

The operative word is "essentially" free.
But if, for wild example, someone came out with a power soure that involved workable small scale sustained fusion, or capture and conversion of matter by dumping it into neutronium, etc..etc then whoever controlled such a system would control the World's economy.
It would seem that a country like the FSU, that was having such a high-tech flea market for so many years, would not be able to restrain themselves.
Human nature would not change all that much, no matter how the technology changed.
Imagine what would happen. The entire mideast would collapse within a year into neanderthal barbarity.(Oh, well, THAT was not a good example)
The economic upheaval would be unprecedented and entire industries would disappear overnight. So I agree there is inertia, and there are good human nature reasons for supression.
Consider "Cold Fusion". We still do not know what is going on, except that chemical or electrochemical reactions simple do not produce 10 KeV neutrons, nor do they produce transmuted elements such as helium isotopes from deuterium.
For all the millions spent, such as the Japanese programs in recent years, there does seem to be a shortage of conclusions.
Teller was on our Board, and in a meeting some years ago, we had a chance to ask him what he thought. It was more or less a shrug, and THAT is not like him at all.
"There is SOMETHING going on, but it may not be fusion...but then again, I am not a very good Physical Chemist because my best known reaction involved only one element..."
But he was very Establishment Connected, so who knows?
