I don't care for Rand or her books, but I would like to note that her
hero, John Galt, invents a mysterious power station that outputs
electricity with no apparent source of fuel. It occurred to me many
years ago that Rand must have imagined this as some sort of nuclear
reactor. It is a standalone, no maintenance unit similar to the
Hyperion gadget
When I was young and foolish I was quite infatuated
with Ms Rand's ideas. I read all of her books. The energy machine
mentioned in Atlas Shrugged cohered the ZPE. A S is a novel, a fanciful
scenario, which won't happen because entrepreneurs are people, and all
people want to be rich.
There is a body of evidence to suggest that They (The Oligarchy)
restricted the development of ZPE based technology. If this is true,
than I believe that Rand's foolish ideas were truly ironic.
