No amount of argument will EVER change (their) mind, a specially trained team of rhetoricians, clergy, philosophers, lawyers and popes in the hundreds arguing and explaining 10 hours a day for a decade wouldn't make a dent. Some people are just broke beyond repair.

Is it tech that produces no effective pollution?
Is it tech that is cheap, easily manufactured and distributed?
Does it require any expensive, hard to find/mine/extract metals, plastics or other composite materials? (and are any of these likely to be sourced from areas of conflict - such as where precious and rare metals are extracted (Congo region for example) or like the middle east?)
Is this technology some kind of miracle battery/energy cell for home/local use?
Is it big project, clean fusion type national/global use?
Is it some kind of 'energy from thin air' tech, or does it require a fuel of some description?
Now: Let's assume it is best case scenario; Clean, cheap, infinite fuel, local use. Powers houses and cars - no more hydrocarbons whatsoever.
Corporations are going to be even more efficient, able to reach further and further and, able to fulfill 'their customers desires' even better than before. The same psychopathic drive for profit and power will be there.
Military is gona be doing shit but off the leash. MIC r&d guys with unlimited energy point sources? *shudders*
Other stuff is going to need the same resources, such as is being aggressively mined in Africa and Asia. These are finite and massively destructive to the indigenous communities. And also to the Chinese factory workers. Meat will still be ground to a pulp by industry and the military.
And lastly, population and food required to sustain it. Well? It's been growing at an alarming rate with the hydrocarbon bonanza: it will be out of control with unlimited energy. We would turn into a metaphorical hoard of locusts and pick the planet clean.
would it turn out differently to my hypothetical? Would unlimited free energy somehow lead to the combination of world peace/unilateral disarmament, removal of the patriarchal hetronormative paradigm and the corresponding sociopatholigarchy, and, a societeal drive towards collective evolution within a sustainable and symbiotic relationship with all other aspects of the planets flora/fauna system.
I see a perpetuation of all of the worst excesses of the hydrocarbon bonanza, not a change in direction. If others see it differently, I'd like to see reasoning. And I am operating under the assumption that this magical tech exists and indeed is being supressed - for the sake of argument . Because I don't know if any of us here to anything other than suspect it at best

What impressed me the most about The Mighty Wurlitzer was how much Full Spectrum Dominance was basically applied to the entire Dewey Decimal catalog of human research & endeavor. The strategic insight that ongoing, constant background psychological operations was the best approach -- you can't just wait for the next conflict. There were entire covert departments and many many millions devoted to achieving total consensus control from anthropology to physics. Tim Shorrock's book Spies for Hire lays out how much this kind of spookery has been outsourced, totally under control of private actors and beyond any semblance of accountability.

Until then we remain a red-zone quarantined for our own good. Whatever dealings or communications we've had have likely then been initiated by subset of aliens who wish to give us a little help along.

The BBC, CNN, France24, CBC, and newspapers like The Guardian, the Independent, USA Today and the Washington Post are marching in lockstep as they propagate the exact same lies, which have nothing to do with the reality we are living. The Egyptian people are determined as never before: Christian and Muslim, young and old, military, police, judges, rich and poor, to defend their nation against the gang of terrorists and their brainwashed automatons who have been doing everything possible to destroy it. With the collusion of the Western media and Western governments and Western public relations firms, the Muslim Brothers have been exporting a totally false narrative of victimization that has nothing whatsoever to do with the reality. I give you my word that they will lose, because Egypt is united and strong, with, for the first time in more than 40 years, a leadership that is worthy of our great people.
As you can imagine, I have barely touched the tip of the iceberg here, and I have so much more to say, especially about why all this is happening now, but this is long enough for the moment.
