And super-cheap energy production would not be created just once.

This, right here...

The nonsense of "someone created super efficient engines or batteries or whatever, then oil companies bought the patent and buried them".

That is such nonsense. A good invention can be invented by more than one person, and the US and Europe aren't the only places that can do this.

The idea of a 200 mpg carburetor is old, 1935 old... If it was real, anything invented back in 1935 could be invented in China, or Iran, or Russia today... Or India or Australia, or frankly South Africa...

Unless you think black helicopters are flying around the world, killing anyone who comes up with it.

In which case, I really can't help you. :)

Those who have watched the movie "Who killed the Electric Car" know that industry and politics will conspire to do what's profitable, not what's good policy.

That might be true, but it's also the case that they understate the technical limitations keeping pure electric vehicles off the road. Some of these (batteries, fuel cells, motors) are only just now reaching into the realm of practicality.

A good response to Who Killed the Electric Car is a blog entry from a few years ago, Who Ignored the Facts About the Electric Car.

Both sides make good points, but this is hardly a case of the Evil Oil Conspiracy covering up the 100 MPG carburetor.

I guess when you're running on hot air, you sometimes run out of steam

=( looks like i blew it lol

I am perturbed at the references to steam engines today.

Given the large userbase of AOL and Yahoo!, this should be a good test of just how much "stink", people are willing to put up with. In my experience with their premium service, Yahoo! does a pretty good job of keeping spam out of my inbox. Typically, I'll get maybe two a day that escape filtering. If that number were to triple or quadruple, I might begin to think about another service. So legitimizing some spam this way, definitely carries a risk of customer loss.

Also interesting is the likelihood that the filtering efforts of AOL and Yahoo! are effective enough that mass mailers would be willing to pay fees to get around it. It makes one wonder if there is some suppressed technology that would effectively kill all spam, but The Man is keeping it under wraps, like the 100 mile/gallon carburetor of decades past. Very effective filtering may be what makes it possible for AOL and Yahoo! to get a bigger piece of the spam dollar than they probably already do.

I can replace my 200 MPG Carburetor!

What a lot of people don't realize is that the cheapest form of power generation has been sitting right in front of us for 200 years: the Steam Engine. Yes, that's right. It's more efficient than any form of power generation requiring any form of fuel.

So why has this invention been suppressed? Money. Control. What the corporations and governments don't want you to know is that the steam engine is far, far cheaper than anything else on the market, and in terms of raw efficiency, blows any other fuel-based power generating device out of the water. They'd prefer you to think that "modern" methods of generating electricity are the only solution to the massive quantities of electricity needed by modern society, and they in turn require vast amounts of money to keep running these facilities. What goes on behind the scenes is a completely different story, though.
