This Week’s Flywheel Scam

When 2GreenEnergy was launched in 2009, there was still some talk about flywheels as potentially scalable solutions for energy storage. But in the last 10 years, no one’s heard a peep about this subject from any credible source.

Of course, now we have charlatans coming out of the woodwork, calling on idiots to invest in clean energy “technologies” that are totally nonsensical, like these conmen.

In today’s world where honesty is a joke, you can count on criminal liars to emerge from the shadows to rip off a few (or many) idiots.

It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.

Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.

Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.

We regard the underclass as animals; others regard everyone as a human being.

This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.
