Steron, an Irish company, has today claimed they have invented a technology that produces free, clean, and constant energy. Supposing they are right, what impact do you think this would have on our world?

I checked the site.
Apparently, they have discovered the phylosophical stone of Energy!
If it were the case, prepare yourself for a great change in our lives (and, probably, another world war).
It it were the case and was patented, energy producers would buy in the patent and destroy it: too much money to loose...
But I do not believe these claims: they go against the laws of physics, and it is probably why scientists don't even want to check the project!
Remember the claim, a few years ago, on obtaining cold fusion at room temperature? That would have been fantastic. It went no-where, was a fluke...

A very positive impact if allowed to flourish and shared with all mankind, however if this technology is suppressed, and debunked as a fraud even if that is not the truth, then we shall continue to live in the dark ages.

I find it hard to believe that they have found a technology that disproves the Principle of the Conservation of Energy.....
but if it is valid, I think the world would be a better place....
though W may never allow it !!!!

It would be like going through the Renaisance again. All this sounds like Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged" and especially the energy source.
A physicist, Puthoff, thinks warp drive may be possible.

I suppose people would become lazy and corrupt, and it would have to be banned like the Schmoos of the Li'L Abner comic. Schmoos are animals that gleefully provided limitless quantiities of free food to the inhabitants of Dogpatch. Link to the start of another Schmoo adventure attached.

The oil companies and nuclear power plant companies will done everything in their power to suppress it to maintain their business and profits.
