We've had this technology since Tesla discovered it. The Navy started dabbling with the "Philedalphia Experiment."
Why do the Governments continue to withhold this information?

They're foolish. ZPE should work fine.

First the "goverments" are not withholding information, This technology has yet to be proven to work and is based on some rather questionalbe science. ZPE is not technology discovered by Tesla, Tesla attemped to transmit electcity through the air, which is how he came to invent the Tesla coil, however, it does not work to transmit energy. Do a bit more research for informed scientific facts instead of loking at that questionable website listed in your question.

Because we don't know if Zero Point Energy can be extracted and used. Even then it probably can't be used to provide the amounts of power we need. Not for a long tme anyway. And the costs are enormous. It isn't a viable power source.
That site is not reallyt a scientific site. I would be a bit skeptical of something like that.
As for ZPE, it's not simply a matter of building a neew station. The government isn't withholding it. We can't do it.

Firstly, Tesla did not discover zero point energy. In fact, he did not even work in the area of quantum mecahnics, which is where it arises.
Secondly, zero point energy is of no use at all for powering anything. It is not useful or accessible energy.
The issue with energy is not how much of it there is - it is, in principle, never destroyed. Its how much of it is useful - and this is down not to energy but entropy.
To be a useful source of energy for technology, energy must be from a low entropy source. Zero point energy is about as far from that as you can get.

You are yet another asker who has confused scifi with science fact. No one has sent anyone into the past; let alone a Navy carrier and its crew. No one has ever used ZPE, which is energy derived from singularities.
(Oh, I forgot, Syndrome used ZPE to capture Mr. Incredible; but there we go...scifi once again.)

Because Bush and Cheney have many OIL friends that keep them in power if they keep making them rich. The deaths are just collateral, really of no consequense.
You should have bought Haliburton stock about 5 years ago, you'd be fabulously rich now..

Have you ever considered possibility that ZPE doesn't exist and that's why we're fighting over the oil ?

this only applies to greenhouse gasses and its bad effects
think for a second here ....., all that oil came from co2 in the air that got trapped in plants as carbon ,that got buried and then turned into oil ......,and now burning all that oil can only put the amount of co2 back where it came from in the first place.we didnt all die off then and we aint gonna in the future cuz we aint putting 1 molucule more of co2 in the air then there was already here before

I find it highly unlikely that we can harness the zero point energy.
your link was just full of garbage. i saw no references. physicists don't mention ZPE.
