Interesting reading about Tesla. He created "free energy" and the government shut him down (for lack of a better term) I'd like to get your opinions on the subject.
Every so often, you hear about someone creating cold fusion in their kitchen or bath tub and as soon as you hear about it, the/that story disappears.
Your thoughts or experiences please ?

The government didn't shut down Tesla -- he just ran out of money. (He foolishly signed away his patent rights, rather than reducing the royalty rates.) Tesla was big on broadcasting energy, but the idea runs into the huge flaw that most energy radiated by a transmitter doesn't go into anything useful: you can't effectively aim it. If you are doing radio or television broadcasting, this doesn't matter much; your receiver only needs a microwatt or so to do its thing. But if you want to light a hundred watt bulb, you're SOL.

There is no free energy, and there never was. There are lots of misguided amateur scientists, and lots of hoaxes, but no devices that produce more energy than they consume.
It is a fundamental principle of the universe that energy (well, mass-energy, but close enough) is conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. It only changes form.
There are no conspiracies to stop pioneering scientists experimenting with new energy sources. From a practical standpoint, stifling research into these devices is impossible.

Do not believe those comments, there are proven records of patents being turned down, all around the world, just dig and you will find info.
There are also many patents being bought by good or force.
People who are indoctrinated into the world, as most of us are, or have been, tend to be simple and blind.
Humans dont even know 10% of their own world or it's physical laws. They only know how to destroy it for money.

The stories disappear because the realize that what they thought was free energy was simply miscalculation.
To me it sounds like you are trying to convice yourself that there is some big government conspiracy to suppress free energy inventions. Well gotta little news flash for you they don't exists - if there was free energy, we would see it manifest itself in cosmos
