8. If a huckster didn't "sound right" he wouldn't make it as a huckster.

Creationism sound right to people who think the Bible is infallible. The idea that the earth is flat sounded right to people before Columbus. Free energy sounds right to people with no education in physics. The Easter bunny sounds right to kids who are young enough to still lack experience of how the real world works.

Of course it "sounds right". That's why it can lead so many people astray.

Let me ask you this about free energy. Is there ANY reason why China wouldn't jump on this instantly if it worked? Never mind "big oil" in the west, there's nothing stopping Communist China from grabbing this technology and running with it, and if it works, using it to very rapidly dominate the entire globe! And the Moon. And Mars too. They could build free energy factories and free energy aircraft carriers and free energy space shuttles and free energy automobiles for all their people making them the richest and most advanced nation in the world. This is an opportunity they would never pass up in a million years.

But they haven't done it. Why? Because it doesn't work.
