International Tesla Electric Company (ITEC). Who is ITEC?
45.
Q. What are UCSA and BWT and how are they related?
1. Q. I've always believed that
nothing is free in this world, so how is
UCSA able to offer me "free electricity"?
A. We don't mean in a physics sense that we are getting something for
nothing. But in an economic sense, anything that you get to use
something without paying for it, I call that free. That is what we
mean any time we use the term "free electricity". We are willing to
give you up to 26,000 kwh (kilowatt hours) of electricity for free
because we are making our money by selling the power that you don't
use back through the grid. So we have a profit motive. We will be
independent power producers selling our electricity over the grid.

2. Q. Will we actually
stop the use of our local
electric company?
A. You will probably still be connected to the grid. So you will
appear to still be a customer of the electric company. However, if we
put a generator on your property, you will be sending power back to
them rather than taking it from them. In effect, the electric meter
will be running backwards. So, even though you would still be
connected, you would not owe them any money.
Back to Top
3. Q.
Who will
install the generator?
A. The generators will be installed by local licensed electricians.
The electrician will get any permits that are required.
Back to Top
4. Q.
Is
26,000 kilowatt hours per year enough
to run everything in my home?
A. The average all electric home in America uses 2 kW per hour. The
26,000 kWh per year is about 3 kW per hour. So we are giving you 50%
more than the national average usage. The peak demand for most homes
usually does not exceed 10-15 kW per hour. Since the generator will
produce 30 kWh, peak demand will not be a problem. In fact, the
transformer the supplies electricity to your home is probably rated at
30 kva (kilovolt amps) which is the same thing that the generator will
be able to produce. Since the average usage for an all electric home
is 2 kWh and the generator produces 30 kWh, it actually produces
enough energy to service your average demand and 14 of your neighbors.
Back to Top
5. Q. What happens if we use
more than 26,000 kWh per year?
A. You may have to pay for the excess power
that you use. However, the rate would be the same as we charge the
electric company. So you would be buying your power at wholesale
rates. That is bound to be a better price than you are currently
paying.
Back to Top
6. Q. Where will the
generator be installed?
A. The generators will probably be
installed on a pad outside your house similar to the pad
that an external air conditioner would sit on.
You may not be able to get one if your power company
will not buy the electricity. In that case we will
install yours somewhere else & pay your electric bill up
to the total allotment.
Back to Top
7. Q.
How big is the generator?
A. The 30 kW Sundance Generator and
Hummingbird motor combination along with ancillary equipment will
probably fit on a cement pad that is three feet on each side.
Back to Top
8. Q.
How loud is the generator?
A. The generator will be quiet and
should not make any more noise than your outside air conditioning unit
makes.
Back to Top
9. Q. Will the
generator be safe to be around?
A. Yes, we plan on having a safety
enclosure around it.
Back to Top
10. Q. Will the generator
produce anything that is harmful?
A. Some people are worried about the
harmful effects of high power electric lines. The home generators
will put out about the same energy as the transformer that services
your home can handle. So, it will have no more harmful effects than
the energy that is currently available to your home.
Back to Top
11. Q. Aren't there laws that
prevent you from selling power back
to the electric company?
A. No, in fact there is a federal law that was
enacted in 1996 that says anyone can be an independent power producer.
Anyone can put a generator (diesel, gas, wind, solar) on their house
and the electric company must buy back the excess power they produce.
It's just that most people don't do this because the costs of these
systems is prohibitive.
Back to Top
12. Q. If my state has a
law against selling power back over the grid from a home generator,
how will I get my electricity for free?
A. You will still receive "free
electricity" if cases like this exist when we release the technology.
We will take the unit that would have gone on your house and group it
with other units from people who are in the same situation. We will
then put these units on commercial businesses to supply their
electricity needs. If they won't allow us to connect to the grid in
these states, then these commercial customers would get all their
electricity from us. Then we will take some of the revenue that we
make from this commercial electricity sales and pay your electricity
bill (up to 26,000 kWh per year).
Back to Top
13. Q. I live in a
rural area where there are no power lines.
Can I still participate?
A. Yes. We have the ability to send electricity
through the air without using any wires. We demonstrated this in our
7/15/2000 technology show. In cases like this, we would put a
generator on your site and still get your excess power back to the
grid or other neighbor to sell the excess.
Back to Top
14. Q. Why shouldn't I just
wait to sign up until the units begin to
ship?
A. There are two compelling reasons to sign up
before the technology comes out. First, people will be given "free
electricity" in the order in which the sign up. So the sooner you sign
up, the earlier you will get it. Second, the price to sign up now is
FREE (you may have to pay a few dollars for the shipping, handling and
processing fees). Once the technology ships, the price to sign up may
go up to a $1000 or more. So a small risk today could pay big
dividends in the future. After all, a few dollars is less than most
people spend for dinner and a movie. Yet most people spend over $1000
per year on electricity.
Back to Top
15. Q. Will I ever be able to
buy a home unit?
A. No, UCSA will always own the equipment. We
will pay for the maintenance and upkeep. But it should not matter as
you will get the use of the equipment for free.
Back to Top
16. Q. Can I sign up to get a
unit on the house that I rent?
A. Yes, but you have to have the permission of
the home owner.
Back to Top
17. Q. Can I sign up to put
units on the rent houses that I own?
A. Yes.
Back to Top
18. Q. Can I sign up for
more than one unit on my home?
A. No, the only means of making money we have
from this project is to sell the excess power commercially over the
grid. Each home unit will produce as much energy as the typical
transformer that services a home can handle. We would not be able to
send any of the power from the second unit back over the grid. So we
cannot permit more than one home unit per address.
Back to Top
19. Q. Can I sign up to put a
unit on my apartment?
A. No, UCSA considers apartment complexes to be
commercial properties. So, we are not permitted to sign up apartment
dwellers.
Back to Top
20. Q. Can I sign up to put a
unit on my town house or condo?
A. Yes, so long as there is an independent
electric meter for the home.
Back to Top
21. Q. Can I sign up to put
units on my business?
A. No. We are only allowing these units to be
put on residences. We may have a program in the future for commercial
users. Say tuned to this web site for late breaking news.
Back to Top
22. Q. Can I sign up if I'm
not connected to the electric grid?
A. Yes. This normally happens in rural area
where there are no power lines near by. In cases such as this, we will
attempt to sell power to the neighbors around you that are also not
connected to the grid. We have a technology that allows us to move
power through the air without using power lines. This is a technology
that was invented by Nicola Tesla in the late 1800s. We know how to
use this technology and we demonstrate this on the 2 hour video
available on this site.
Back to Top
23. Q. What happens if the
generator breaks down?
A. First of all, it is very unlikely that the
equipment will break down completely. The thing that usually fails on
a generator are the windings. As a generator is used, the windings
heat up and will eventually break. With most generators, when the
windings break the entire unit is usually replaced. But the Sundance
generator has the windings in 30 separate modules. If one module
breaks, the generator will continue to produce plenty of power for
your home. The broken module can be replaced while the generator
continues to produce power.
Secondly, in the event of a complete equipment failure, you will still
be connected to the grid and you will still have power available. If
the generator fails, you will have to call ITEC (International Tesla
Electric Company, the UCSA subsidiary that will operate the electric
business). They will send someone to repair the equipment. We will
have an incentive to repair it quickly since we don't make any money
while the unit is broken. UCSA will also pay for the electricity you
use from the electric company while our equipment was not working.
Back to Top
24. Q. What happens if I
move before the generator is
installed?
A.
UCSA needs to know about any change of address that has
occurred since you signed up for “free electricity”. If they don’t
know about the change, they will not be able to locate you to install
your “free electricity” generator. To notify us of the change, send us
a letter with the new contact information and $1. The contact
information should include: name, installation address, mailing
address (if different), home phone number, work phone number. We will
change our records and forward the information to UCSA along with the
dollar. UCSA requires the dollar to cover their administrative costs
for the address change. UCSA will send you a new Letter of
Confirmation for the new address. If the $1 is not included, the
address change will not be processed.
Back
to Top
25. Q. If I move can I
take the generator with me?
A. Yes, but UCSA would have to be kept fully
informed. You would also have to pay the expense of having it
uninstalled, shipped and reinstalled.
Back to Top
26. Q. If I
die can my family still receive "free electricity"?
A. Yes, if
you should pass away (we pray that this will not happen), your heirs
can have the registration passed to them. They would need to send a
letter to us containing the heir’s name, address, etc. and they must
include a copy of the death certificate. We will pass this information
on to UCSA who will register the heir in place of the deceased. There
will be no charge for making this change.
Back to Top
27. Q. When can we expect
the units to begin shipping?
A. This is perhaps the most
frequently asked question and the most difficult to answer with any
precision. At this point, it appears that most, if not all, technical
issues for the home units have been resolved. UCSA plans to begin
shipping the home units when we have 1.6 million people signed up to
receive "free electricity". We are not sure how long it will take all
the UCSA dealers to sign this many people up, but we hope it can be
done within a year. This timeframe is our best estimate based upon
current progress and it is not a commitment to a date.
Back to Top
28. Q. Why is UCSA waiting
until you have 1.6 million people signed up
before releasing the technology?
A. Dennis Lee (head of UCSA) has
written a book called "The Alternative". In the book, he describes
resistance that he and the "free electricity" project have received
since we began our efforts in the late 1980s. Back then, Dennis had
the first "free electricity" technology ready and he demonstrated it
for a group of 600 people. Shortly thereafter, local law enforcement
officials raided his headquarters and took all the technology and all
the records (technology and financial). Then a long legal battle began
that was also part of the harassment by "the powers that be". Dennis
realized that he had made tragic mistake. He had announced that the
technology was ready without having public support to overcome
resistance by those who profit from the current methods of generating
electricity. We do not plan to make this same mistake again. He will
not release the technology until we have a base of support in place.
We want 1.6 million people signed up who know about our technology and
have an interest in seeing it come out.
Back to Top
29. Q. With all the power
problems in California, wouldn't now
be the ideal time to release the technology?
A.
California’s power problems have been in the news a lot lately. Some
of you may think that these problems are the perfect window of
opportunity for us to come out with our technology. You may think that
if we did release the technology now that we would be heroes. We do
not think that is what would happen. We think that there may, in fact,
be no power shortage in California. If we are right, then we would not
be welcomed with open arms as you believe. So we will stick to our
guns and only release the technology once we have 1.6 million people
signed up.
Let me explain. As you know, California’s legislature passed an
energy deregulation law a while back. What the law did was separate
power producers (operate power plants) from power distributors (supply
power to end customers). The price producers can charge was not
regulated but the price the distributors can charge remained
regulated. The producers began to jack up their prices while the
distributors could not. Several distributors appear to be in financial
trouble as a result of this scheme.
Many people are bad mouthing the “greedy” power producers and
saying that this proves that free market ideas do not work. But let’s
analyze this situation. The power producers have a perishable product
(you cannot store electricity) which must be used when it is created.
The producers have a limited and captive market (the distributors) for
their product. The producers know that they cannot charge the
distributors more for the power than the distributors can sell it for.
The producers know that if they did this it would bankrupt their
limited customer base (the distributors). The producers are not so
foolish as to bankrupt their only customers because they know that
soon they too would be in financial trouble.
We think there is another agenda at work here. We think the real
agenda is to call for additional legislation to regulate the price the
producers can charge. Also we believe that we may be the main
motivation of this scheme.
A few years ago, the most expensive part of electricity was
producing it. The cost to distribute power was lower than the cost to
produce it. Now the electric companies want us to think that
distribution is the most expensive element. The reason that this shift
has occurred is at least partially due to the national electric grid
system. Power can now be produced in one part of the country and sold
in another part. Every company that owns a piece of the grid between
the production site and the point of consumption is paid Transmission
and Distribution (“T&D”) fees to move the power.
This has created a system where power can be produced in out of
the way places that are often near coal mines. Many of these locations
are sparsely populated and so the people in these locations care more
about the jobs that the mines and power plants create than they care
about the environmental impact of these businesses. As the power is
moved from the production site to the point of consumption, the prices
go up due to multiple T&D charges being added by each company that
helps move the power. This results in high electric rates in places
like New York, San Diego and Chicago. But it also creates a golden
opportunity for us. We can come to these places and produce the power
right where it is used while not polluting the environment and
undercutting the prices currently being charge. We can charge a
premium and still undercut the current suppliers because we have no
ongoing operating costs.
California leads the nation in many new trends. The opposition
believes that if they can get legislation to put a cap on the
producer’s prices then they will close a door that is currently open
to us. They believe they will be able to more easily control our
growth and our profits. If they are doing this to cramp our style,
then we are not at all concerned. We believe we are in the drivers
seat because we have a huge technical advantage that allows us to
produce the power with no operating cost. There are other reasons why
we remain confident that we are not permitted to discuss.
Back to Top
30. Q. What will happen on
the day the technology is released?
A. We currently plan on installing
100 home units all America on the same day. All 1.6 million people who
have been registered will be invited to see one of these units
working. At that point, all of them will KNOW that the
technology works. Each of them will also be invited to sign up 9 of
their friends and/or family members at a cost of perhaps $1000 or
more. This will get an additional 14.4 million people registered. We
expect that these additional people will be registered very quickly.
This would mean that a total of 16 million people will be registered.
Once 16 million have been registered, no additional people
registrations will be accepted.
Back to Top
31. Q. When can I expect
to begin receiving
"free electricity"?
A. It is very difficult to answer
this question directly. The answer depends upon a lot of factors
including: when we start manufacturing, how many units can manufacture
in a given period of time, our ability to get the components we need
to manufacture the units. Many of these factors are outside of our
control. The one factor that is under your control is when you sign
up. The units will be delivered on a first come, first served bases.
The people who sign up early will get units before those who sign up
later.
Back to Top
32. Q. Does UCSA have the
money to manufacture these units?
A. We have sources for the money to
manufacture. The first source is private loans. The second source of
funds is to finance the manufacturing of the machines through
traditional lending sources such as banks. The third source for funds
would be our own business and revenue stream. The day that the
technology is released, the initial 1.6 million registered people will
have the chance to sign up nine of the family and/or friends at a cost
of perhaps $1000 or more. This would mean that an additional 14.4
million people would be registered and it would also raise perhaps
$14.4 billion dollars for manufacturing. This amount of money would
build 1.6 million home units. From this point, we could finance the
manufacturing of the remaining home units from the profits from
electricity sales. The second source of funds is to finance the
manufacturing of the machines through traditional lending sources such
as banks.
Back to Top
33. Q. How many companies
will manufacture these units?
A. We currently are working through
the NUAF with the major unions, all of whom want to help us
manufacture "free electricity" technology. In addition to this, each
of the 2000 UCSA dealers has the right to become an manufacturer for
any of UCSA's products. We expect that manufacturing 16 million units
will create a lot of jobs in a lot of companies, but we are only
interested in building them in the USA.
Back to Top
34 Q. Even if UCSA has the
technology figured out, isn't it possible that
politics will stop you from
distributing the units?
A. Yes. In fact we believe that this
is the most difficult problem that we may face. The groups that
currently produce power in this country represent a very powerful
political force. Many public officials are beholding to these groups.
To overcome this force will be difficult. However, we believe that we
can form our own grass roots support base by signing lots of people up
to receive "free electricity". We are very busy signing people up all
across America. We plan to sign up 1.6 million people before we begin
to release the home units. We believe this will give us the support
base we may need.
Back to Top
35. Q. Isn't UCSA claiming
to have a perpetual motion machine?
A. No, not the way a scientist would
mean it. My dictionary defines perpetual motion as "the hypothetical
continuous operation of an isolated mechanical device or other closed
system without a sustaining energy source". Based upon this kind of
definition, most people believe that perpetual motion is impossible.
My dictionary defines perpetual as "1. lasting for eternity, 2.
lasting for an indefinitely long duration". We don't know if anything
lasts for eternity since we have not gotten to the end of eternity yet
(as if we ever will). But, we do expect our Hummingbird motor and
Sundance generator to meet this second definition, run for an
"indefinitely long duration". We (and I suspect you) are not so
concerned about eternity as we are concerned at this point about what
happens while we are alive on this earth. It is obvious from nature
that as long as you have a perpetual (long running) energy supply that
perpetual energy (long running) is possible. For example, our sun has
certainly been shinning bright for a long time and we expect it to
continue to do so for a long time in the future. Gravity is another
force that seems to still be working. Permanent magnets also seem to
work for a long time. None of these may be perpetual motion in the
strict scientific sense but from a practical standpoint they are
perpetual. We are using very powerful permanent magnets in the both
the motor and generator. Did you every wonder what makes a permanent
magnet stick to your refrigerator? How long will the permanent magnet
stick to the refrigerator? Won't it stick up there permanently or at
least a very long time? The best scientists cannot fully explain why
this happens. We are saying that we have figured out how to harness
some of the energy in permanent magnets. And we are saying that we
have a combination of technologies that will run for a long time in a
closed loop (no outside energy).
Back to Top
36. Q. Isn't UCSA claiming
that the Hummingbird motor
breaks the laws of energy conservation which say you can't get
more energy out of something than you put into it?
A. No, we are not claiming this. We
are saying that we are getting more energy out of the Hummingbird
motor than electricity that is put into it. We are also saying that
current measurement technology is inadequate to measure all the energy
that is coming from the permanent magnets in the motor. No one knows
how to fully measure the energy output by a permanent magnets. We can
measure the strength of magnets but not how much energy they give up.
It is obvious that the permanent magnets must be giving up energy but
it is not obvious why their source of power seems to be renewable.
Back to Top
37. Q. Isn't "free
electricity" technology impossible?
A. Well, people have been saying that
all kinds of things were impossible that we now know are quite
possible. Think about the things that we take for granted that 100 to
200 years ago would have seemed impossible. This list would certainly
include television, radio, VCRs, automobiles, airplanes, space travel,
lasers, atomic energy, atomic bombs, internal combustion engines. This
list could go on for pages. Even the Wright brothers flew their
airplane for five years before the media would pay any attention to
them. For further insight you might want to read some
famous quotes
about what was considered impossible.
Allow me to share some of my own world view. The word of God says
that "all things are possible with Him". I believe this statement is
true. Dennis Lee has talked with hundreds of inventors about where
their ideas came from. All of them say in their own way that the idea
just came to them and most don't know where from. They often describe
it as a flash of insight. I believe that God holds all knowledge. I
also believe that God is the creator of all that exists, and that He
knows how everything works. I believe that God is the One that reveals
to inventors new inventions and ideas. I believe His motive is to
bless man while he is on the earth because he is loving and gracious.
We know He can make free electricity. Look at lightning. What is
gravity or magnetic energy anyway?
Back to Top
38. Q. What do you say to someone
that thinks "free electricity"
technology is impossible?
A. That is a difficult questions to answer
with certainty. But I'll share some of my thoughts. Many people do not
think for themselves. We are accustomed to accepting "sound bite"
answers and platitudes and never questioning them. For example, one
that we've all heard, "if it sounds too good to be true then it
probably isn't true". This is the first thought that many people have
when they hear what we are offering. They usually cease all
independent thought once they have the thought. They never stop to
think that many of the modern conveniences we take for granted today
seemed impossible just 100 years ago. Another common thought that
people have is "that's impossible". They never stop to think that in
order to know for sure that something is impossible implies that you
have all knowledge. If you don't have all knowledge (and I don't know
any human who does), then you can't say for sure that something is
impossible.
So before someone dismisses "free electricity" as "impossible" or
"too good to be true", I would encourage them to look at the evidence
we offer (on this web site, and in our Public Awareness products).
They should put their brain in gear and weigh the evidence that is
available. Then they can make a decision for themselves. If they wait
until everyone has a home unit or until the media tells them it is OK,
they may miss out on a great opportunity. The
future belongs to those who see an opportunity before it is obvious to
everyone else.
Back to Top
39. Q. Isn't your offer of
"free electricity" just another scam?
A. No. We are honest people
attempting to do the impossible (at least what the scientists have
said is impossible). Some people say that since we have been working
on this problem for such a long period of time and haven't
manufactured a "free electricity" machine yet that it must be a scam.
It's true that we have been working on the problem of "free
electricity" since 1987. Because we are trying to do the impossible,
it has taken a little longer than we originally thought. How long has
Jerry Lewis been raising money to cure Muscular Dystrophy? Jerry has
raised hundreds of millions of dollars for research (far more than we
have had available). They haven't cured the disease yet but no one
calls them a scam. The same thing could be said for the National
Cancer Society and lots of other organizations that are working on
hard problems.
UCSA did a national tour in 1996 that stopped in Washington, D.C.
Many government officials were invited to this show including: Janet
Reno (then Attorney General of the US), the President, the vice
President, all US Representatives and all US Senators. All the members
of the House and Senate (except one) either sent a representative to
the show or signed to receive a video of the show. Our purpose for
doing the show was to get the US congress to enact legislation to
deregulate electricity production nation wide. We were concerned that
our technology could wreck the economy because so many retirement
funds, banks and mutual funds invest in electric utility companies. In
a private conversation with the office of the energy committee for
congress, Dennis made clear what we wanted in the legislation and
demanded a meeting with congressional committee by July of 1996 to
discuss these issues or else! Congress never granted the
meeting but on July 19th they had passed a law that gave us everything
we wanted. If we were trying to run a scam we certainly would not have
done the show in Washington and we certainly would not have invited
the Attorney General (the top law enforcement official in our country)
plus the entire Federal government.
UCSA did another national tour in 1999. On Friday 9/17/99, we ran
a full page ad in "USA Today" on page 15A announcing the tour. The ad
gave the dates and locations of every tour stop. At each tour stop, we
demonstrated the Hummingbird motor running at 5 units of energy out
for 1 unit of energy in (scientists say this is impossible because the
most efficient motor you can buy today is only about 90% efficient).
The ad invited anyone to "bring your own test meters and measure the
devices for yourself". At each show, people were invited to run tests
on our measurements using their own equipment. Not once during the
entire tour did anyone prove that the efficiencies we demonstrated was
a fraud. These are not the actions of people who are trying to conduct
a scam.
Dennis Lee was also invited to speak before the Kansas house and
senate Energy Committee on February 7, 2001. It seems highly unlikely
that a con artist would be invited to make such a speech. Dennis
shared his speech, the reaction of the Kansas legislators and his
comments about the experience on his February 17 radio show. You can
listen to the archive
of this radio show. We also have a copy of the
speech on this web
site.

40. Q.
What do you say to people that claim your just going to take the
money you make on selling the Public Awareness products and never
deliver "free electricity"?
A. The amount of money that we earn from selling the information
products (Public Awareness Kit, etc), is just too little money to a
motivating factor. If money were my sole motivation, I could make more
by going back to the corporate world in the short term. If people
think we are making a fortune by selling these Public Awareness
products then they are just plain wrong. But we keep going forward
with an eye to the future. We are also motivated by the idea of
bringing out "free electricity" and many other technologies that will
greatly benefit mankind. But "free electricity" alone would be enough
motivation. Imagine a world where there were no coal/natural
gas/oil/nuclear power plants to pollute the environment. All electric
power can be produced without polluting the environment at all. Also
imagine a world where all our cars were powered by an electric motor
that did not pollute the environment. Don't get me wrong. I'm not an
environment whacko, a tree hugger or a worshipper of "mother earth".
But if there is a technology that can solve some of our pollution
problems then I think we should use it.

41. Q. How does Dennis
Lee respond to people and web sites that
claim what you are doing is a scam?
A. One of the unfortunate things
about the internet is that anyone can say virtually anything on a web
site. Most people take whatever they read on the web as if it were
absolutely true. In actual fact, most if not all of what has been
published on the web about Dennis Lee and UCSA are lies. The UCSA web
site has a page where Dennis Lee has a recorded message that
answers the critics.

42. Q. If this technology
is real, why haven't we heard
about it all over the media?
A. That's a great question and we
wonder the same thing. But the sad truth is that the media has had
many opportunities to report on what we are doing. Rarely do they take
us up on an offer to honestly report on what we are doing. When they
do report on what we are doing, they always give an biased report that
ends up making it sound as if we are crooks who are trying to rip
people off. To illustrate this point, let me tell you about a story
that Good Morning America did on us in November of 1999. UCSA did a
national tour with stops in 47 cities in 1999 where we demonstrated
some of our technologies. Out of that tour, Good Morning America did
one story on us and they implied that we were con artists. They
interviewed a scientist that said what we were doing was impossible
but there is no evidence to indicate that the scientist ever came to
one of our tour shows. We offered to let people bring their own test
equipment at every show to prove that our measurements of the input
and output of the Hummingbird motor were false. No one ever proved
that we were lying. The Good Morning America segment never mentioned
this fact. You can draw your on conclusions about the reasons for
this. But let me share my view (although you may think it a little
paranoid). According to an article put out by Sentinel of Freedom (in
Reno Nevada) in October 1997, just four companies control the vast
majority of print and broadcast media: General Electric, Westinghouse,
Time Warner, and Disney/Cap Cities. Two of these companies, General
Electric and Westinghouse, have all the contracts to build huge
turbines and generators for all the new power plants that would be
built and to maintain the existing ones. The last thing they want is
to see the end of large, central power plants. Plus, all of the media
outlets have to be concerned about their advertisers. These might
include power producers, electric utilities, petroleum companies, coal
companies, etc. There is a lot of interconnection between these
companies and they help keep the status quo. For example, I've been
told that GE (the largest manufacturer of electric motors in the US)
has a representative on the board of directors of every electric
utility in the nation. [I have not been able to confirm this so if you
have any information, I would like to hear your feedback.] These self
interest groups have a big stake in continuing to make huge profits
from the current system of energy production. If the media was to tell
you that there was a viable alternative, we would get lots of support
that would allow us to bring out the alternative more quickly. This
would kill their cash cow more quickly. Political conservatives have
often lamented the fact that conservative ideas rarely get a fair
representation in America. I believe that this situation is no
different.

44. Q. The registration
certificate for "free electricity" is from International Tesla
Electric Company (ITEC). Who is ITEC?
A. ITEC is a separate corporation that will
operate the electric energy business.

45. Q. What are
UCSA and BWT and how are they related?
A. UCSA (United Community Services of America)
is a marketing company and BWT (Better World Technologies) is a
research company. BWT has an exclusive agreement with UCSA that allows
UCSA to be the only company that can market the discoveries that come
from BWT's research. UCSA has 2000 dealerships that have the exclusive
right to market the products that UCSA offers. UCSA does not sell the
products directly to the public nor does it deal with the public
directly. Only dealers can market UCSA's products (including "free
electricity"). Dennis Lee is the head of both companies and both
companies are privately held corporations..
