Even a hypothetical "free energy" BLP generator in my basement would end up costing me something, though presumably a lot less than what I'm currently paying. I would not purchase a "home generator" without an accompanying service contract, one that includes emergency 24/7 on call. Nothing's perfect, and nothing runs perfectly. Changing the subject, it would not hurt to occasionally perform a personal inventory on the following issue: It is easy to allow ourselves to be seduced into a perpetual state of giddy-like anticipation concerning a number of "free energy technologies." Once seduced, there's a very good chance we could end up blinding ourselves to the reality of the situation, particularly if we assume the anticipated "coming" of these technologies is the only way we will be able to fix a plethora of pressing global problems. To the best of my knowledge, none of these so called "free energy" technologies have panned out. Not a single one. I keep hoping one or two of them will eventually jump out of the starting gate... but until then, it would be wise to anticipate the fact that for the foreseeable future we are all likely to pay dearly to stay warm, as well as to feed ourselves. With apologies to those religiously inclined, I've seen a similar kind of "anticipation" that has successfully seduced numerous fundamental religious sects, such as in the form of the much anticipated Second Coming, when it is anticipated that when "He" arrives everything from then on will be honky-dory. Curiously, the "Grok" persona also displayed classic symptoms of having been seduced by the same form of "anticipation". His was in the guise the coming political revolution. The anticipated coming of communism (or was that socialism? I forget!) was "Grok's" God & savior. And we all know how easy and reasonable it was to talk to "Grok".
