Statement on Energy Policy

It’s true we have invented quark-extraction, and this allows our aiming gravity at will; it’s true also that time can now be made to flow backward or forward by the same process. It may be true as well that what is happening at the focal point, the meristem of this process, creates a future kind of space, a tiny universe that has quite different rules. In this, it seems, whatever one may choose to do or be becomes at once the case. In short, we have discovered heaven and it’s in our grasp. However, the Patent Office has not yet approved and cites less positive aspects of this invention. First, it does not generate profit, and it does make obsolete all present delivery systems for our nukes. Then, it will let private citizens do things that only a chosen few, that is, OUR sort, should be allowed— fly freely from one country to any other, spreading diseases and bankrupting transportation. Home-heating, auto-making industries will be trashed, employment shelled, depressions spread worldwide, sheer anarchy descend. For these and other reasons, no one must know of this. . . .
