Endless Energy Within Reach

Can humans travel to anywhere on the planet within a single hour? Do we have unlimited energy available at our finger tips?

Those are long-standing dreams of science — dreams that Nikola Tesla underscored with his energy experiments as far back as the late 19th century.

But now, says retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast, those dreams are within our grasp. Here, he lays out what’s possible in an address he gave back in 2019, discussing the newly created U.S. Space Force.

He claimed “We have tech today” that can “take you from anywhere on Earth, to anywhere else, in an hour…” That’s what he told listeners in an address, given Nov. 20, 2019, at Hillsdale College’s Allan P. Kirby Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C.

Many observers believed  Kwast would become the first head of the U.S. Space Force, but he retired in the fall of 2019. Some say he had been blacklisted for speaking out on space-related issues. He declined to discuss those reports or the reasons for his retirement.

Still, consider the implications found in the words from his Hillsdale address: “The technology is on the engineering benches today. But most Americans and most members of Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what is going on here. But I’ve had the benefit of 33 years of studying and becoming friends with these scientists. This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental to deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour.” Here’s an excerpt from his speech, which we found on the YouTube channel Tales From Out There.
