While I am extremely sceptical about the liklihood of this free energy being real, the end result, were it to be true, would be catastophic. Think reindeer, petri dishes, etc. We would not be able to stop our unquenchable consumption and we would find another 500 reasons to perish.

Yes, treeman it could be catastophic.

Ahavah B.'s down thread post is a prime example of why energy from the vacuum is not a panacea. There is still a problem – people.

Where IS that 'Theory of Everything' ?
