There really isn't antimatter, or positron traps(well outsided the ghostbusters)

If I remember well in my science-boy days, I think that a particle of antimatter was created in a proton accelrator in that big place in Switzerland (a major scientific lab which name escapes me at the moment) _________________

That's actually one of the true things from Dan Brown's Angel & Demon's book
Your thinking of CERN

yep, it's true.
And believe it or not, there are many more alternative power sources that have been developed.
The thing is, when a scientist or inventor develops a potentially life altering alternative power that would be more cost efficient and environmentally friendly than the status quo, it is usually on someone else's dime.
Then the government and the corporation steps in and and keeps it under wraps.
They know they don't need oil to make the world go round and to power the world. But if they make everyone else believe it, then it is a good scam to make money with.
Advances have already been made with pulling free energy out of the electro-magnetic spectrum, and with "zero point" energy.
But there is no money in free energy. So they keep a lid on all of this stuff until the oil is gone. Unless of course it can be used as a weapon. |

I agree
That's the bad thing about being one of the most wealthy and economically independant countries in the world, business pretty well controls everything.
I don't think this will ever change. Just like in the OPEC countries, those that have the oil run the countries.
