As for your question; “Should We Seek A Solution�, the answer is yes! The government and each state utility commission is awarding companies that install windmills with incentives, accelerated tax deductions/depreciation and allowing the utility companies to charge more for the power they generate if and when they do turn. We here in the Northwest are charged for the power that they could make but cannot when the hydro dams are filling the grid with surplus power during spring run off and fish mitigation.Good morning Ralph.
I am in Arizona now and after driving across the Country, was amazed that I saw thousands of windmills (literally), the majority of which were not turning at all!! There was a hell of a lot of money put in these to have them sitting idle. Obama and the UN all state that climate change is more of a crisis than terrorism and are proposing to send $trillions on it. These monies will provide jobs and without the solution to Bessler's wheel, will not significantly impact the oil industry (as seen by the windmills and solar panels produce little if the sun is not shinning). Nuclear is not going to happen, too dangerous.
If a solution is found, the impact on these (green energy companies) will be tremendous, especially with job losses. The impact on oil will be profound although it will take years to fully have enough in operation to make a difference. If found, then the Governments will have to find another crisis to spend money on and that would not go well.
The solution would have such a profound impact that I suspect that every effort (and I mean every effort) will be made to suppress it. Do you agree? Do you still feel the patent system is the way to go if found? Is this a worthy topic for discussion on Bessler wheel?

The windmills you see are constructed on either private or federal lands. If placed on private land, the owner of said property is collecting either by flat rate or a royalty of power produced. Some farmers are making a fistful of dollars off this and gladly giving up productive farm land for their placement. Each windmill is connected to the national grid by underground cable, this means that each also require an easement across bare land for each utility dig.
Now lets say we come up with a gravity driven wheel that produces power 24-7 and does not rely on any natural source such as wind or sun. You simply sublease a portion of ground at the base of each windmill where it can be tied into the same grid wire without worry of extensive power lines. Your machine is producing ongoing power at a lower cost and is running when other sources are dormat.
It is by law in most states if not all, that if you can supply a green power source that is compatible by being in phase with the grid, the local or national power grid must accept your back-feed into the grid. Lets say for example I have a working wheel with generator in my garage. By law the local power company must allow me to hook it into their supply drop, making my wattage use meter run backwards! They must pay me for any and all power over and above what I consume.
As for a profound impact, I really do not see any! The laws are already written in our favor and were originally backed and passed by congress and state utility commissions to except the windmill power in the first place!
