Energy Shortage is as much of a scam as global warming. Look at any city of size and there are millions of lights burning, often in the daytime, and often in rooms such as storage, and mechanical that often see no entry for months are even years. Cnt.

These people are STUPID!
I work in security and see it all the time. An example of that...
High Rise Office Building in Nashville. Awards for being energy efficient, and the portion of the building that the owner of the building has light dimming in the Lobby, most of the amenity floors and bathrooms, but most utility and storage space is on the tenant's bill and their power consumption doesn't matter to the building owner, the energy efficient award scammers, or the tenants. And then there's the office space, much of which is overlit when there is no one even there. How can there be a shortage when there are several thousand lights on and I'm the only one there?
It could be that it costs less to keep the lights on than to pay for your salary. It also was the case that the waste heat from the lighting system was explicitly part of the heating energy budget for an office building. And, if you build a new neighborhood development, you have a new requirement for street lights and home utility service.
When there is a shortage of anything, your price goes up. Has your price of electricity gone up...or down? Are you happy with interruptions of service? Regarding the latter, are you aware there is a healthy market for home motor-generator sets? And, though I disparage them, there is a market for home solar panels. How can these markets exist if there is no shortage (or no price one is willing to afford)?
In this subject, there is no issue of propaganda. It is all market-driven. If price was no object, there is no problem. But everyone complains about the price of gasoline. Does that mean there is a shortage of gasoline? Yes it does...at the price we are wanting to pay.

I follow the power bank industry, I spend a lot of time in the Philippines and its hot! and brownouts both planned and unplanned suck. However the power banks are heavy, expensive, and don't really hold that much energy. The one that interests me the most is the Bluetti APEX 300 because it can be charged with 110 or 220, and can output 110 or 220, and can be scaled up to 3 units with 6 additional batteries each totaling 54 KWH (probably more with the newer larger batteries) this setup costs around 25,000 and weighs about 1,450 LBS.
I don't need that much capacity... However the Philippines has only recently had limited access and their import tax is around 35% so... a lot more expensive. I live frugally when I'm there, but need A/C, Internet, and warm water for showering.
I have a Filipino family that are my friends and they had a small outbuilding they rented to Filipinos for around 35 bucks a month, I pay them 70 a month (My choice) year round, and I spent another 2,500 bucks in a second room and a semi-outdoor bathroom, using the original room as storage a fridge/microwave space.
A perfect setup for me would be 1 unit with 2 batteries which would get me through the brownouts completely for all my electric needs. Electricity is very expensive there. Double USA rates, so solar along with a natural gas generator, would be ideal to keep it charged no matter what.
I also follow Solid State battery tech. which may solve many of the current electric car problems and the batteries can be used for any and all electricuty needs. Samsung's battery is rumored to need 5 grams of silver per cell and electric cars have around 200 cells, so 1 Kilo per car. I have quite a bit of silver and am not looking to sell.
Many companies waste money like crazy because they pass the costs on to the consumers. I worked two years at the convention center in Orlando and was amazed at the money spent, and when I was working that 10 years ago they had scaled back. it sucks when the stool they rented you to sit on costs more than your pay.
At one show, an orthopedic convention where around 25k Drs. were in attendance (Got to meet continuing education requirements) The trade floor was open for 4 hours a day 3 days. The booth I was paid to babysit on overnights cost was 235,000 dollars for 4-5,000 sq ft. The buildout including the rent was 1 million bucks. A lot of the booth structure was thrown away after the show. It was facinating seeing all the hardware for broken bone replacement and repair tho'
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it can only change forms, as my science teacher drummed into us. There is no shortage, there is only an NWO deliberate restricting of converting it into useable forms.
I wonder if President Trump’s recent posts about his father, uncle, and Tesla, in separate posts, might be an indicator of coming free energy.
I hope so... A lot of tech has been suppressed. Often inventors are bought out or offed out.
Just like real cures for diseases.
Yes, the worst thing for your health is going to a Dr.
What "tech" has been suppressed? Flight? Rocketry? Space travel? Computers? Nuclear power? X-ray tomography? Video telephones? Composite materials? Intraocular lenses? Titanium joint replacements? (and these are just off the top of my head)
In our lifetimes, more "new tech" has rolled out than we can properly catalog. I always hear that "technology" has been suppressed...but nobody has the faintest idea what it could be. So, how can they possibly know anything is suppressed if they have no idea what they are talking about? Or, if the technology is known, why not run with it? The basic problem with all the stories is that there was never really any discovery, or the replication of its performance was not possible, or something else was really going on (like car engines running on hydrogen produced by water electrolysis). Cold fusion is an example. Very intriguing, but also very inexplicable. The western press gave up on it (patience not being a national virtue), but research in other countries continues, enough to support a small industry making specific experimental equipment. It hasn't been suppressed. But neither has it been exploited...and nobody wants to throw money at it.
Many alternative automobile energy sources have been suppressed by the oil companies and auto manufacturing.The oil companies wanted to sell gas and the auto-making companies didn't want to retool.
The advent of the WWW made suppression much harder.
That's the mythology. I"ve been paying attention since the 1960s and haven't heard of anything real. Interesting that whenever this claim comes up, the person making the claim has no idea of what these "alternative sources" were. The idea that the auto-making companies don't want to retool does not comport with the (ill-advised) investment of pure-electric vehicles using lithium-ion batteries.
I do know that ammonia was used as a fuel post-World War II, as it was available from biological digestion...and nothing else was. It was a lousy fuel, however. Plenty of instances of vehicles using natural gas or propane. Alcohol is feasible (used formerly at the Indy 500) but has poor heating value.
What difference did the World-Wide Web make, if you are claiming that so much has been suppressed? What, in your view, has been unsuppressed...and also a good idea?
Er... Hasn't the government been pushing the EV via legislation and possibly incentives? California especially...
As far as suppression goes, how much of the technology developed by the military using black budget funding is in the public view and how much still to be revealed? Area 51 and other places have had a lot of secrecy going on for decades. Is it alien tech., German tech., or just newer research?
The Pentagon recently revealed that we have energy weapons, and what was the discombobulate stuff Trump talked about being used in Venezuela? Sorry, I'm not very articulate, but I consider the use of anti-parasite like Ivermectin being disparaged as suppression.
Suppression doesn't necessarily mean complete secrecy... a middle-of-the-night example. The amount of toothpaste you actually need to use is about the size of an plain M&M and NOT the big S-shaped amount on the toothpaste commercials? Since tooth paste contains little chunks of abrasives, using too much may well be causing damage.
Same thing with razors, I can buy into twin blades being effective because I have used both single blade and twin blades all my life. the twin blades are better. I did try razors with more than 2 blades and they were faster, but cost a lot more and have more opportunity to become dull. Shaving with a twin blade takes me a minute, and my skin comes out smooth. I don't have to make a lot of passes to acomplish a smooth face so more than two blades are redundant. Moisture and the quality of the steel has more impact on a razor becoming dull. Micro rust and all that.
Nothing has been pushing Tesla, though it is true that federal and state governments have been pushing EVs through coercion. This is the opposite of suppression (unless you think of it as suppression of internal combustion engines, which it is). Nothing about it is secret. Jaguar, all on its own, clear of any compulsion, has declared to commit brand suicide by spurning its customer base and competing with Bentley by going all-electric with designs that look like bars of soap. (I've never seen a hugely successful automobile brand pick up a gun and blow out its brains before, and the sight is sickening.)
What technology developed by the military using dedicated funding are you talking about? Nuclear energy? Flight? Rocketry? Computers? Even the SR-71 predecessors were known and photographed in the early 1960s. (I saw them in "Popular Science".) You don't have any examples to illustrate your point. You are just supposing they exist. Area 51 time after time has been explained as a secure site where foreign aircraft are tested to determine their technical details. What alien technology? Operation Paperclip technology was well understood and instantly transferable. There were quite a few companies building and selling rocket engines in the 1950s.
We've had directed energy weapon technology (distinct from weapon systems) since the 1970s, complete with public photographs. I was in that field and saw the photographs, including target effects. Industrial lasers were available at that time (though they weren't quite like the laser in "Goldfinger"). Actual laser weapon systems have been in development from the early 2000s. Nobody understood the early significance, which mainly points to the scientific illiteracy and ignorance of the general public (especially including newspaper reporters). My hunch about the "discombobulator" is that it was an infrasonic weapon; the symptoms have been known for many decades. The attempt to disparage hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin was indeed an attempt to suppress a use, but the drugs had been around for their purposes for decades.
The whole thesis of "suppression" entails secrecy. Bad sales practices about toothpaste are not part of any problem of technology suppression. Same thing about razors.
Look, you have a mythology...but you don't have any evidence. You do not understand how technology progresses. Big advancements in technology are rapidly propagated. That is the history. Just look at the examples. It is happening even today with AI (which I regard with some critical skepticism). SpaceX is revolutionizing space launch. It is all around you. Yes, some things are secret (how to build a hydrogen bomb, for example), but the secrecy is fading away and the underlying physics are not suppressed (we knew how to build nuclear reactors before we knew how to build atom bombs).
Never mind, none of what I said actually conveys the point I was trying to make very well, and I appreciate the time you spent with formulating your comments.
As a side note: A long time ago I watched a very interesting series which showed how one invention leads to the next. Like spring steel led to wind-up clocks and that sort of thing. The show was great and my example is a lot more simplistic than that show was. They chained together many inventions and discoveries. A led to B, led to C...
Don't hold your breath. There was nothing in Tesla's papers on this subject. And solar power and wind power are "free"....except that they aren't really. The lesson being: there is no such thing as "free" energy. We have an amazing resource in nuclear power however, and Trump is taking measures to bring that to life. Why wait and pine for a flying carpet, when you can board an airplane and go anywhere?
Are you trying to push the idea that data centers are therefore ok? Because I know for a fact that massive money is being thrown to bots and influencers to push that and discredit anyone who is against the data centers.
Funny how they flipped from Global Warming bs directly to saying there's no energy crisis created by the data centers. You would think they would get spiritual whiplash!
Nope, I'm not a fan of data centers...they have way too much data on us.
I’m not sure waste existing means anything in relation to supply of that thing. You could even argue the opposite, that people wasting electricity contributes to the "shortage".
