Look up the word "also" hill, and meditate on it 
As in you are "also" doing your usual off topic whining.
The topic has to do with the fact that oil is finite and we have no plan for a post petroleum civilization.
It doesnt matter where we drill or where we pipe it to and from. Some day, it'll run out and then what?
It doesn't matter how much we drill. If some tin pot camel herder can rattle sabers 8000 miles away and drive our financial markets crazy, we need another plan.
The lemmings dont understand that.
the technology has been here for well over 100 years for free completely renewable energy.
it was shot down when they found out, and because certain BANKERS and their BED BUDDIES the GUBAFIA couldnt make money from it.
In June 1902 Tesla moved his laboratory operations from his Houston Street laboratory to Wardenclyffe. However in 1903, when the tower structure was near completion, it was still not yet functional due to last-minute design changes. In addition to commercial wireless telecommunications, Tesla intended the tower be used to demonstrate how electrical energy could be transmitted without the need for power lines. A story has arisen that the power consumption could not be metered and Morgan, who could not foresee any financial gain from providing free electricity to everyone, balked.[citation needed] Construction costs eventually exceeded the money provided by Morgan and additional financiers were reluctant to come forward (Tesla's other major financier was John Jacob Astor). By July 1904 Morgan (and the other investors) finally decided they would not provide any additional financing. Morgan also discouraged other investors from backing the project.[citation needed] In May 1905 Tesla's patents on alternating current motors and other methods of power transmission expired, halting royalty payments and causing a severe reduction of funding to the Wardenclyffe Tower. In an attempt to find alternative funding Tesla advertised the services of the Wardenclyffe facility but he was met with little success. By this time Tesla had also designed the Tesla turbine at Wardenclyffe and produced Tesla coils for sale to various businesses.
By 1905, since Tesla could not find any more backers, most of the site's activity had to be shut down.
its not and never has been what is good for the population of the country or the worlkd at large, if it does not make certain pockets heavy with cash it will NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN.
I dont give a shit if it was Jesus Christ come down t save the world it would be outlawed unless it can be securitized and taxed.
~welcome to the desert of the real.
That was a power transmission system, not a way of generating electricity in the first place, so not really relevant, whatever Christopher Nolan has to say...
People understand so little about "electricity".
Tesla not only planned to supply the whole freakin world with free power but light the cenans as well
Sky voltage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Sky voltage refers to an electrostatic voltage gradient that is present in the free air of the atmosphere, and which can have a different voltage potential relative to the surface of the planet. The gradient varies with atmospheric humidity, dropping lower on days with high humidity, and higher in very dry air. The voltage potential averages about 120 volts per meter.[1]
Tall insulated metallic objects can absorb these voltage gradients out of the atmosphere, and conduct the voltage to a terrestrial collection and measurement station.
Small lightweight electrostatic motors and toys can be driven from this collected sky voltage when one side is connected to earth ground, and the other is connected to the sky collector, such as a kite or balloon with a foil collector and fine wire running down to the ground. A collector 200-300 ft high can develop a sky to ground potential as high as 20,000 volts. [2]
Sky voltage and the electrical neutral wire
Sky voltage was a problem for early electrical power and communications grids which used suspended insulated bare wire to transport current. These suspended wires also acted as sky voltage collectors, and could result in dangerous electric sparking from electrical devices to nearby earth grounded metal, or sparking to the people touching the electrical devices. Due to having wires spanning tens and hundreds of miles, the wire has the capacitive potential to store large charge quantities across the system that could prove lethal to energy customers. Lightning striking near an electrical power device also had the potential to leak dangerous high voltages into the system that could spread throughout the system in moments.
In order to safely dissipate this collected sky voltage, one current-carrying wire of the electrical grid is connected to a grounding rod at regular intervals throughout the power system. This serves to discharge and bleed off any large voltage charges being collected from the suspended wires. WASTE This wire is called the neutral, since its voltage is zero relative to the earth ground.
Modern three-phase transmission lines also include a fourth suspended grounding wire which carries no load, but helps to absorb the sky voltage and prevent electrostatic buildup in the other poly-phase current-transporting wires.
tesla developed methods to "bring it down" to his tower and pull off the unlimited power around the earth and of course using the earth itself as an integral part of the transmitter the return path is back to the sky! Hence completely renewable and forever as long we the earth continues to rotate.
and yes it was tested functional at colorado springs much to the shagrin of the naysayers.
then secondly because the transmission meduim is NOT ELECTRONS it acts like a funnel dragging any energy in its path into it adding to the energy being transmitted.

artists concept
its timely but it wont go anywhere since this is not a government of the people but a government of the leaders and the idjits seem to like it that way.
kiss all the best things to be had good bye
