I think what QuantumChemist is trying to say is that it matters little if you are right or wrong, you will have to fight the human power system.
Consider what happened to this man:
“That electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to any terrestrial distance, I have unmistakably established in numerous observations, experiments and measurements, qualitative and quantitative. These have demonstrated that it is practicable to distribute power from a central plant in unlimited amounts, with a loss not exceeding a small fraction of one percent in the transmission, even to the greatest distance, 12,000 miles – to the opposite end of the globe.” - Nikola Tesla
Tesla was right and yet, we still kill each other for energy. Just finding the solution is not enough.
Tesla was wrong. He did not fully buy Maxwell's Electrodynamics. Electrical energy can be transmitted in straight lines by microwave but it cannot be transmitted through the earth. Tesla had no idea what the magma and the core of the earth were like. No one in his time did. Tesla'a assertion is contrary to know thermodynamics. To get from the energy indicated by the Poynting vector (the cross product of the electrical and magnetic fields) to mechanical energy is a very big loss.
