How come none of these "revolutionary" powerplants is never invented by someone who doesn't care who gets credit?
These stories were slightly more believable before the internet.
But if I invented a real solution to the energy problem and started to meet conspirtorial resisitance from the patent office or Exxon or the Masons, i'd just publish the whole thing and tell the world how to build their own.
There are a million super-smart grad students out there who could make this happen if it were true and would not try to keep it a secret.
Certain elements of the "us versus them" working class myth just don't exist.
You don't need GM for R&D money. Silicon valley is still awash in millionares who are still too young to be cynical. Convince one of them and you can build your engine.
But it's sometime fun to argue...
