A climate solution that's out of this world

One of the newest energy lobbyists claims he has the answer to climate change: spaceships.
The government has in its possession "extraterrestrial vehicles," lobbyist Stephen Bassett said. As in flying saucers.
Imagine the power source, he said, behind a 30-foot wide saucer that weighs the same as a tractor-trailer yet hurtles through galaxies at 20,000 miles per hour.

"I hope he's right. Wouldn't it be cool?" said Jerry Taylor, senior fellow and energy analyst with the libertarian Cato Institute. "Good luck to him. Hopefully, the magic energy machine will be coming our way shortly."

If anthropogenic global warming was actually occurring, and a scientist found a way to stop it without changing our lives in any way-- nobody would be more upset than Algore, his chronies, and the radical left.
All they care about is power and telling everybody else how to live.

Supposedly there are 3-4 DIFFERENT
UFO technologies that would allow a suitcase sized unit in a home or in a car to . . .
essentially, as I understand it . . . what little I understand . . .
to
take ‘free energy’ from the quantum mechanics aspects of reality . . .
Costing very little . . . like maybe $0.25-$0.50/year or some such for the cost of the equipment over it’s life.

"I hope he's right. Wouldn't it be cool?" It would be - right after The Powers That Be figure out a way to meter and charge for it

On a galactic scale, 20,000 mph is hardly hurtling. Its like calling continental drift "rapid".

Poor Quix. This is
twice in a week's time that Greenfece wackos are trying to muscle in on the flying saucer hoax. What with the Photoshoppers, the "psychics", tarot card readers, astrologers and various (comic) book writers already in the game, what's a True Believer to do?

No stretch at all.........we’re in the midst of the greatest transfer of wealth in world history.....wresting control of boundless energy and doling it out is right up the Ubermensch Allee

Have studied such things since 1960.
I don’t keep track of sources well.
You can search Stephen Greer, MD’s DISCLOSURE PROJECT site . . . he has a whole organization devoted to the ‘free energy’ thing alone.
But there have been multiple sources saying essentially the same thing the last 20-30 years.

That’s a major reason such has been withheld . . .
1. !!!!CONTROL!!!! of the masses through centralized power.
2. GREED.

The only way it can be done is by using the 6th dimension. It’s timeless there.

From what I can see, the "Free Energy" violates the "1st law of thermal dynamics". /moonbat>
I'll take a pass on it.
Hint: no working prototype, either.
Cheers!

Am certainly no expert.
However, am convinced that at least 1 and probably all the 3-4 different methods of extracting energy from the quantum substrate do work . . . and cheaply.
None of them violate any basic laws of physics.
I certainly don’t think we know near as much as we think we do about basic physics, BTW.
There are likely powerful reasons such has been kept hidden.
