Zero-Point Energy: Tesla, Free Power, and Its Proposed Impacts

Zero-point energy or what Nikola Tesla called radiant energy is the most

profound and transformative gift that the quantum world offers us. The

seemingly empty vacuum of space is actually a roiling sea of virtual

particles fluctuating in and out of existence and all those fluctuations

require energy. If we could tap into this energy source we would unlock a

virtually unlimited reservoir of clean free energy. The implications of free

energy go far beyond bringing monthly electric bills to zero or running a car

without gasoline. Most of the cost of making anything from growing food to

building a skyscraper is the energy of pulling raw materials out of the ground,

shipping, processing, shipping again and so on. If the cost of energy goes to

zero the cost of agriculture and manufacturing becomes negligible.

Other critical solutions like water desalinization to end drought or air

purification, both of which are prohibitively expensive due to energy

costs, would suddenly become viable in a free energy paradigm. A new world where

humans live in perfect harmony with nature is possible within our lifetimes

but this would mean the end of oil, gas and coal as well as the centralized

power grid and the global macroeconomic system which will stop at nothing to

protect the hundreds of trillions of dollars at stake.
