I read today in the New York Times online that the Senate will soon (again) take up the subject of tort reform (specifically malpractice reform), and I want to offer a suggestion I’ve been making to whomever would listen – which has, it turns out so far, been no one – for several years. Please consider this when the issue again comes before Congress for debate.
Ref: Mr. Baylis’ critique of the extraction of energy from moving vehicles using magnets and a street wire grid.
Mr. Baylis’ critique, while valid in every respect, was primarily economic and will therefore leave some readers (particularly those whose belief in the laws of supply and demand and pricing are ephemeral, and those who believe that moral righteousness is reason enough to ignore any and all economic considerations) thinking that overcoming those merely economic obstacles should be a high priority if the result is “free” energy.
However, there is a more fundamental matter of physics with which any such scheme must contend: the energy is not free.
