What holds Energy Tech back ?

[Mr. Gibs]

Reality is all that's holding back the dream of "alternate" energy, they aren't viable and won't be, simple facts

I would say the media is what's holding them back.

Nuclear may not be renewable but its a lot better than coal and other fossil fuels. But after Fukushima, and the constant media coverage making it seem like the world was going to end, most people are terrified of it. Sad thing is Fukushima didn't happen because Nuclear power was unsafe...it happened because Tepco cut corners in order to save on costs (outdated reactor design, backup generators built below sea level etc).

yeap, it's so simple (Physics 101) and cheap that the control system had to kill him.

His device didn't (and couldn't) work, and he had an aneurysm.
