I'm kinda always falling for free energy stories because they appeal to my hopes. Rationally, I know it doesn't work and my brain keeps telling me it's a scam.

I'm kinda always falling for free energy stories because they appeal to my hopes. Rationally, I know it doesn't work and my brain keeps telling me it's a scam. In my gut, however, I dream of a world where free energy reigns and we don't have to burn fossil fuel en masse just to keep society afloat. However, lately I wondered: Would free energy really be a good thing? If there's limitless energy for everybody, wouldnt it be even easier for a lunatic - or a government run by lunatics - to run amok. Economically and Ecologically, it would be terrific. But I wonder if we, as a species, are already adolescent enough to be given such power.
