When people think of free energy they tend to get immediately confused. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind for anyone is “I can get energy for free!!! That can’t be possible”. The “powers” that be have definitely got us up against the wall when it comes to getting access to energy resources. The next thing people think of when discussing the possibility is that so many people have claimed they could create “free” energy and they are always hoaxes or snake oil salesmen or often just plain crazy paranoid schizophrenics. The last thing most people think of if they even dare is that we have the opportunity to actually create “Free” as in speech energy. Energy production and conversion technology and resources that are publicly owned and not subject to patents and corporate or governmental control.

One of the biggest problems that inventors of so called “Free” as in beer energy in the past has been bringing the technology or concept to market. There are several cases of gifted inventors and engineers who had very credible technology that provided energy at a fraction of the cost and greatly increased efficiency of currently widely used technologies who were killed, bought off or shutdown and their inventions and breakthroughs destroyed or locked away from the public. Open source and Libre Energy promises to make it a lot harder for the energy oligarchs to shut down and keep from the public the advances that are made.

In this modern day and age with the whole world connected via internet and mobile phone we see amazing speed of information dissemination. It’s very difficult to stop knowledge from being shared once it has been released to the public space and internet. There are even laws that make it hard for the most powerful forces to have control of public information. There are certainly uncountable avenues for sharing information in a non public grassroots way as the various illegal activities performed by internet citizens has proven.

The great thing about the internet is that they can’t shut us down now. So sharing knowledge learned through open research and development is a very safe way to make sure the common people of the world have the upperhand and not the corporate powers and selfish forces of greed.
