Not at all!
SOMEONE has to write grant proposals for Cost-Saving Hydrogen Energy systems, Free energy furnaces made from an old washing machine that uses hydrodynamic shear, carburetors that the Oil Cartels suppress because they produce 200 MPG, IPO's based on absurd power sources and ancient Tesla drawings, and all the other wonderful things that show up like a case of herpes every time energy prices rise!
"...IPO's based on absurd power sources and ancient Tesla drawings,"
Tesla was sweet. And he DID invent the AC motor (not Marconi).
