"In my part of the World, New Energy Program became possible due to the changes that our society has undergone during past two decades.
When the USSR collapsed in 1991, people were flooding into the streets, with both religious and environmental protests. The people were eagerly seeking the truth. Public interest in philosophy and history was revived, freedom was in the air... Still, the People were poor, the wound of Chernobyl was fresh, and prices for non-atomic energy resources were cheap. That era is ended now. Those tender sprouts of real freedom and democracy have been weeded out. Things have changed tremendously. In a totalitarian state, the government kept the information from the people, now, in a "free state", the people keep the information from themselves. Everyone seems to be happier outwardly, well fed, better clothed, and sheltered... Any protests are now only political. In the end, everyone is fooled by one party or another. The real rulers of the country are financial groups that mass-merchandize their issues with the same psychological techniques that business has developed to sell goods. Their chosen political candidates, like hunchbacks, show us only their best sides and push receptor buttons that appeal only to the weaknesses of the masses. It seems, therefore, they seek mostly for the people to remain weak-headed, and do everything possible to achieve this, through dispelling common sense whenever and wherever it dares to appear. Most every paper, news, radio and TV station belongs to an entrenched establishment that takes refuge under a sign proclaiming itself to be an abode of free speech. But speech must be immune from government control in order to be truly free, and these days that can most reliably be found in the unfettered resources on the internet. The old-line media would be happy to conceal the thick puppet strings that connect themselves to the official establishment, and to completely dismiss all internet sources as irrelevant. Fortunately, they don't know how. The result of this policy is well seen already: the study of history is in steep decline, and the most popular philosophy is the one that helps us obtain only material wealth. Most people now agree to live by bread and TV shows alone... What suits our "leaders" is a society where the decision to build new atomic plants can be made without any debates... Adolph Hitler once exclaimed, "What luck for the rulers that the people do not think!" The post-Chernobyl madness illustrates this very well, because people who would rather not think are eagerly welcomed by the rulers whose power relies upon perpetuating public ignorance.
