# ENERGY

So **MIT** has apparently achieved orbital solar energy that could benefit everyone on earth with a free energy source

That's what they claimed anyway, but you and I know that's not how things work.

It will be centrally distributed which means it will be a natural monopoly. The infrastructure will cost money for which you will be taxed. Pricing will be set most likely by the State, IE fascism. Whoever controls that source will eventually rule the world.

So what do we do? Is there anyone working on decentralized power distribution?

That is the solution a people need to be free.

Decentralized power exists. You buy panels, a charge controller, a few inverters and a bunch of batteries. Then if you want you get a wind mill. If you are looking for "power distribution" by the very nature of what that means, you get centralization.

Of course Jack.

It sounds simple and cheap when you say it like that.

Get people out of from under the thumb of the State.
