Anti Gravity/FE would create the biggest boom mankind ever experienced but the problem is with the transition.
Agree about the boom. Not concerned about the transition.
Did the Government manage the transition from the horse and buggy to model T? From the carriage to the railroad?
Why do we need Government to referee (hold back) the introduction of revolutionary technology when history did fine without it?
Plus, we've got unemployment insurance. Put 30 million energy workers on the dole for 2 years at 1 Trillion, worst case? The growth in tax revenues would pay for itself in a year!
A point about the weaponization of Free Energy.
As it stands, any joe blow has access to unlimited natural gas. Buy some canisters, rent a small tanker truck, fill it up. Same threat. Yea, it costs a little more now. But energy is cheap. a psycho could do a lot of damage with a credit card, 10K, and some natural gas.
I see a premeditated effort to control people. To control the free market.
