for capitalist countries i agree...
but the point is most of these inventions are from 20 years ago during the not so capitalist times of russia and china, the world was not all corporate back then....the russians and chinnese did not care much about profit and corporations and input but output and efficiency and sticking it to the west and capitalism...it would have been the HOLY GRAIL for communism...and the west in no way shape or form has a monopoly on science or innovation...the article i critiqued sites regular joe inventors, not some superlab super black ops US military lab researchers...if these regular joes came up with it, then the russians and chinneese would have come up with it too or at least obtained it though espionage...
lets say inventor regular joe really did have plans that were confiscated...whats stopping him from posting new ones on the net? if they discovered it they can re-discover it and make new plans...its not like they get a men-in-black brainwash with a government issue memory eraser pen?...ok a few are afraid but what is keeping the rest from say seeking asylum in a foreign embassy and demonstrating their holy grail clean energy invention to the media and making trillions of $$$??
im not even taking in to account the 1000-s upon 1000-s of mid sized labs and researchers working on similar project or just within the energy industry, I can not imagine a lab/research center that would not be all over that shit...
like tubes lead to the downfall of porn, somebody would have jumped to the opportunity if there was any truth to this cheap alternative energy, greed is a serious serious factor
the thorium reactor seems realistic only because the projected costs are in the billions and this is hard to finance so It semi believable but the cheap stuff that costs under 1mil$ to make or whatever is a hoax plain and simple...its just too good to leave alone or put away...
