Kansas
Congress
By Dennis Lee
On
February 7, @ 9:00 am, I was invited by one of our dealers, Richard Franz,
who had been contacted by a Kansas Senator who told him he believed it was
time for us to “rise into the radar” in Kansas and announce our
project to the Senate Committee on utilities.
He
wasn’t on that committee, but he could arrange to have them invite us to
speak to them. Our Dealer told him he might get me to come.
How
could I miss an opportunity to speak to a State Senate Committee?
I would not dare say what I wanted to.
To be honest, I had no idea what to say.
I
know exactly what they would want to hear and see. How could I possibly explain why I would not be willing to
expose the technology to this legislative body?
They
are concerned about their coming energy crisis.
The California thing has also got them spooked as it has all
states.
This
committee wants to decide whether or not to deregulate and how to if they
do. In Kansas, the price of
natural gas is going through the roof.
I
didn’t realize that Kansas is the 7th largest producer of
natural gas. They export 60%
of their gas. I accepted the
invitation to speak. They
gave me 50 minutes.
They
wanted a script to pass out in advance of the speech.
I tried to think of what to say for a week and it just wouldn’t
come. I told them there was
no way to get a script. I figured God would put the words in my mouth that day.
It
was a shock when Alison said she wanted to come with me.
Then,
the night before we were to leave we had a snow blizzard.
It was so bad that everyone had to go home at 3:30.
At
that exact time, I got inspiration. I
sat down at my computer and my whole speech flowed out of me.
It was done at midnight. When
I sat down to read it, I was a little concerned about what it said.
It
was not at all what I had thought I would say, but it was pretty well
prepared and did say what the world needs to hear.
It did a great job of explaining why we could not just show them
the technology while letting them know what our dealers are currently
doing in their state.
I
thought about it in the re-read and decided God was right about the
approach. I had no idea if
they would accept it but if it was what God wanted me to do, then that was
good enough for me.
By
a miracle, I got out of our company parking lot and drove home in the
snow. Alison just did have
time to proof and put her touches on it in the morning.
In
fact, we made the airport limo wait ten minutes while the final copy was
printed out. When we got to
Kansas, we found an all night Kinkos to make the 40 copies for the speech
at 9:00 am.
We
went to the office of the Senator in charge of the committee to meet for
about 40 minutes before the presentation.
I had a chance to speak to him first.
I learned a lot there.
Supposedly
they don’t care about the majors. Our
supply has peaked and at most, there is 20 years of supply left.
They were considering making a power plant (either nuclear or coal
from Wyoming) to supply electricity for Colorado.
The
Colorado citizens don’t want either one in their own backyard.
The point was that parts of Kansas are very unpopulated.
They have 3-4 people per square mile in the area close to Colorado.
That means they have no political problem polluting their own state
to make power elsewhere.
He
explained that they need an industry really bad.
When he told me that I realized that maybe there was a good reason
for me to be there. That was
it.
Maybe
God was testing their group of legislators in Kansas because they are
centrally located in the USA. How
they could react to my presentation would tell the story.
If
we had a central distribution system in Kansas, we could ship units
anywhere (or even deliver centrally).
They’ve got great railroad and highway everywhere.
Training
and local manufacturing could be easily facilitated.
As I sat there hearing him tell me they were not concerned about
the major oil and gas guys, I had a really good thought.
What
if I read the speech God had given me and I did not get rejected but they
understood and were even supportive?
Could it be that was the reason I was going?
That would make it all make sense.
In a few minutes I would know.
We were scheduled to have lunch with this Senator at noon, and we
could explore the possibilities. We
were also scheduled to meet the chairman at the House Committee on energy
at 1:30 pm. I knew there were
to be 40 people coming, but I was surprised to hear why.
Having heard I was coming, the House Committee decided they also
wanted to attend my presentation so they had to move it to a bigger room.
There would be 40 people from the Senate and House.
This was the first time the House had asked to sit in on a
presentation! WOW! Could it
be that at long last I had found a legislative body that could support the
truth? If they wanted an
industry I’d bring them more than they could ever want.
Imagine a state legislature friendly to our project?
I was really excited as I walked with the Chairman of the Senate
Committee to what might be the biggest breakthrough of the last two
decades of my life! I told
our dealers we would know if, after my 50 minute presentation, they stayed
beyond the 50 minutes asking questions because they would not have planned
on that. It would mean they
really got it! As a
confirmation of what the Lord had given me, Richard (our dealer) had
written an introduction without hearing any knowledge of what I was going
to say. It was a perfect
introduction as you can see for yourself in the speech and introduction
that immediately follows:
INTRODUCTION
February 7, 2001
Testimony before the joint Senate / House Utilities
Committees
regarding new electricity generating technologies currently in development
and how they might impact the future of electricity production and energy
availability
in the State of Kansas
By Richard Franz
Secretary / Treasurer - Innotech Marketing Inc.
Dealer with United Community Services of America (UCSA)
in cooperation with
Better World Technologies (BWT) and The International Tesla Electric
Company (ITEC)
For the purpose of introducing Mr. Dennis Lee,
President of UCSA, BWT, and ITEC
who will speak without written testimony
Senator
Clark, Representative Holmes, and members of the Utilities Committees:
My name is Richard Franz, and I am Secretary / Treasurer of Innotech
Marketing, Inc. of Garden City, KS. I address you today as both a citizen
of the State of Kansas who is concerned about what I see happening to my
own energy bills and the energy bills of all Kansans, and also as a
businessman who believes he knows of new technological developments which
could play a significant role in helping the Citizens of Kansas to free
themselves from the slippery slopes of increasing energy dependency at the
mercy of diminishing energy supplies and escalating energy prices.
I commend the members of this committee for their commitment and effort to
search out and identify new and unique sources of energy to supplement,
and perhaps, given time and opportunity, even replace, diminishing and
expensive existing fossil fuel energy sources. I well appreciate that it
takes a measure of courage to contemplate, yet alone embrace, such an
inquiry. Hence, I thank you for the privilege of standing before you
today, and greatly value this opportunity to share my views, my limited
expertise, and this testimony.
For over four years now, I have been associated as a dealer representative
of a company which I believe has answers to the energy crisis which our
State, and indeed our entire Nation, now faces. It’s been an exciting
four years, but I can also sincerely tell you that it has been a
challenging and educational four years. During this time I have learned
about some truly amazing new technologies that I believe hold tremendous
promise for a brighter, productive, and promising future, but I have also
learned firsthand that sometimes these marvelous discoveries are met with
much less than appreciation, acceptance, and enthusiasm. Indeed, if they
are perceived as a threat to commodities provided by entrenched business
concerns, they are more often scorned, criticized, and diminished. And
those who would attempt to bring them forth are likewise scorned,
criticized and diminished. Fortunately, I also believe in an America, land
of the free and home of the brave, where free enterprise can flourish,
where the inventive mind is encouraged, and excellence celebrated. I will
not be discouraged.
I’m sure that what you hear today will challenge you. It may even anger
you. But I sincerely pray that it will ultimately encourage you and
stimulate you toward a vision of what can be, rather than what is. I also
hope that it will propel your continuing deliberations beyond the mere
shuffling of limited options in the pursuit of an enigmatic solution, but
rather, toward legislatively paving the way for a future where new
non-polluting and environmentally-friendly technologies are welcomed and
encouraged, resulting in an era of energy abundance and economic
prosperity for every citizen of our great State.
As legislators, it is your responsibility and trust to bring forth a plan
which ensures all the citizens of Kansas that they will have a secure and
stable supply of cost-effective energy now and in the future. These days
plans are difficult to devise, difficult to implement, and even more
difficult to be assured that they will succeed. In an environment where
plans are scarce, I have a friend who has a plan. Although he will tell
you that it is not truly a plan of his own design, it is none-the-less his
task here today to share with you what that plan is, and why he believes
it can and should be embraced as a viable option in your quest for a
solution to our energy problems. Knowing that he will have precious little
time to accomplish such a task, I have taken the liberty of providing each
of you with copies of two video tapes produced by the Company which
explain in much greater detail both the technology which the Company is in
the process of developing and the plan for implementation as it is being
presented to literally millions of Americans across the Country today.
Additionally, you will learn what it has taken to bring this technology
forth to date, as well as what motivates him in his quest to bring this
technology to the light of day. I only hope that it will clarify what he
shares with you here today, and that it might serve as a valuable resource
to you for the sake of future reference.
I bring with me, and am proud to introduce to you today, a man who is one
of the Country’s foremost experts in the area of alternative energy
sources and the production of “free electricity”, that is, electricity
which can be produced free of operating costs. He is the founder and
President of three International Companies; Better World Technologies,
United Community Services of America, and The International Tesla Electric
Company. He was recently inducted into the International Inventors Hall of
Fame, and can be heard for two hours every week on his own syndicated
radio program on the Truth Radio Network out of Delano, CA. He loves God,
Loves his country, and is a champion of free enterprise.
I give
you, Mr. Dennis Lee.
(DENNIS'S
SPEECH)
TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE UTILITIES COMMITTEE
FOR THE STATE OF KANSAS
February 7,2001
Esteemed members of the Congress of the State of Kansas:
It is with great
pleasure that I take this opportunity to address you on a matter of great
importance to myself and my associates here in Kansas, but also on a
matter of no little importance to God Almighty.
I am Dennis Lee, President and Director of Marketing and Research for
three companies that are dedicated to bringing energy solutions to this
country. Better World Technologies is our Research and Development
company, United Community Services of America is our distribution company,
and International Tesla Electric Company will be our utility.
My wife, Alison David, is the Administrative Executive for all
three companies. We have dedicated 20 years of our lives to this endeavor.
We wish to honor God in all that we do, and to acknowledge His hand
and His direction in our companies. We
ask for His presence and guidance here today. In that spirit I would like
to take a few minutes of my time before you to offer up a prayer.
I thank you for
indulging me. I believe that God will answer the prayers of those in
Kansas who have been searching for an answer to your energy needs. I
believe He has been trying once again to get the attention of a nation
that He offered the great gift of liberty to some two and a quarter
centuries ago. I know that you are looking for information about
technologies that can provide an answer to your problem, but I believe it
is important and relevant to this matter, to first share with you a little
information about my background. It
is not my desire to bore this assembly with my background, but it is my
hope to use it to clarify a few points that could otherwise be
misunderstood. Believe me this is not a filibuster. There is a relevant
purpose to what I came to say.
More than twenty years ago in US history, President Jimmy Carter declared
war on what he called an energy crisis. He created tax credits for
Renewable Energy Sources, like solar, wind, geothermal, or anything that
could offer useable energy as an alternative to fossil fuels. He stated
that it was his belief that free enterprise could meet the challenge of
developing the technology to end our dependence upon Middle Eastern oil
for our economic well being. Among others, I rose to the occasion and
accepted his challenge to advance alternatives. I developed the world’s
most efficient heat pump, later nicknamed the solar heat pump. It could
take energy from sun, wind, rain, snow, sleet, hail, or just ambient air
temperature, 24 hours a day or night anywhere in the United States, to
heat a home or make hot water for showers. It used an electric pump to
compress the refrigerant gases to extract enough
heat, even from a snow blizzard at night, to make water over 200
degrees F. It was a heat pump that had no defrost cycle. On the average,
for every single BTU of electric energy the pump used, it provided 6 BTUs
of heat and could, under optimal conditions, provide as many as 12 to one.
It was, by far, the most efficient alternative energy source in the world
at that time. This data has been proven in a court of law. Our system
could reduce the heating needs of a home by as much as 80% (and, in some
cases it was demonstrated to have saved even more than that).
The government and Big Business did everything in their power to
suppress our technology. They fought us every step of the way to keep our
Super Heat Pump from its rightful place in that war. Electric companies
(and government programs) promoted conventional heat pumps that averaged a
2 to 1 efficiency and even bought them for people through various
“weatherization” plans. But the truth of it was, that electric
companies in the Pacific Northwest preferred heat pumps that saved a third
of the electric bill over mine, that saved 2/3rds of it. The same people
who demanded conservation, ignored our Super Heat Pump and refused to even
test it. We had expected a ticker tape parade, but got a serious head lock
instead. I, personally lost fifty million dollars, and received a very
costly, but valuable, lesson in free enterprise in America.
An attempt was even made
to exclude our technology from receiving the federal tax credits offered
for renewable energy sources. What could be more renewable than a system
that effectively took heat, night and day from not only sun and wind, but
even snow and cold air at night? Thank God I won the battle for the
Renewable Energy Tax Credits in a presentation I gave to the IRS in
Washington D. C. I pointed out that a tin can on a roof that provided one
BTU of hot water (and nothing at all when the sun was not shining) would
have qualified for their loosely written renewable energy tax credits.
They argued that because we used an electric compressor to pump our gases,
our Super Heat Pump would not qualify as a renewable energy source … as
if solar systems did not need an electric pump to pump the water in their
system.
It was enlightening to see how our government fought against the one
technology that could have given them all the conservation they claimed to
be seeking. With President Carter’s tax credits and our 12 to 1 heat
pump, we could have won his energy war. Instead, because our technology
could have upset the five billion dollar heat pump industry being promoted
by the electric companies, we were constantly harassed.
The electric companies fought hard to stop us and called in
political favors all the way to the Governor of Washington State to do so.
The dirty politics played on behalf of good ol’ boys in business who
contributed to campaigns, cost me a fortune. I limped away from the
battlefield with heavy losses, while Jimmy Carter accepted defeat in a war
we could easily have won. The greatest loss of all, however, was the one
fatality in my ranks. One of our employees, a young lady named Colleen,
was killed, and even though we knew who killed her, we could not get the
offender arrested for it. It was a man who had admittedly stolen documents
from our offices for the Attorney General in that state. As a result of
that incident, I made a presentation at the Showcase Opera House at the
Seattle World’s Fair where I vowed to find a technology to compete with
conventional electric companies in the USA which could offer the citizens
of this country an alternative to the arrogant Power Company Monopolies.
The idea to do so was revealed to me in 1987.
It was a crude idea for a technology that could extract energy
through my own low temperature phase change heat pump to produce
mechanical energy at low temperatures. Having a flair for history, and
having descended from Richard Henry Lee, I rented the Old South Meeting
Hall in Boston, where I had moved to lick my wounds from the confrontation
in the Pacific Northwest. At the Hall where the American Revolution had
begun, and standing on the same podium that Ben Franklin and John Adams
had stood, I presided over the very first public demonstration of the
concept. We lit a single light bulb, using water heated by energy taken
from the air in the room at an efficiency of 6 to 1, to excite a
refrigerant gas to drive a turbine. We called it “America’s
Declaration of Energy Independence”. The idea would make it possible to
extract energy from a snow storm, even at night, to make electricity that
could melt steel. Imagine melting steel from the heat extracted from snow.
All I needed was to find a turbine efficient enough to convert more than
15% of the heat it made to mechanical energy.
Within less than one year I had found the world’s most efficient engine
cycle, the Fischer Cycle (invented by Dr. Victor Fischer) in the form of
the Fischer Engine. It is a whole new thermodynamic engine cycle that
operates with a warm liquid being injected into the top of the cylinder
and a cooler liquid rejected at the end of the cycle. The best part about
that was that it could be operated at several hundred degrees Fahrenheit
with liquids that had much lower boiling points than water and had a
thermodynamic efficiency of far greater than 2/3rds efficient. We built an
operating model that many people watched run and actually got a chance to
prove that technology in a court of law, when I was arrested in 1988 on
charges of criminal fraud. In fact, immediately after proving in court
that I could make electricity from energy taken from air, the case against
me for criminal fraud was dismissed. The real reason for my arrest was
because I was trying to advance my goal of replacing the electric
utilities in the United States. I walked into jail a multimillionaire and
left a full year later 50 pounds lighter and dead broke. But, supposedly
the system of justice had worked, because all the criminal charges against
me that had kept me from being free to protect my fortune, were ultimately
dismissed. It isn’t that I hadn’t tried to get out of jail to defend
my project, but although I raised the million dollar bail that was set, I
was denied bail. I set a precedent in California legal history, as the
first man to be denied bail after posting it. Our “working models”
were eventually returned to us, no longer working. We also proved in that
case that law enforcement had threatened witnesses not to testify on my
behalf. There was never any form of punishment for those who committed
that crime. In fact, the Sheriff Deputy who had outright threatened to
kill witnesses, according to the testimony of witnesses on the stand, was
promoted to lieutenant and put in charge of the jail I was sent to. I
spent a lot of time in the “hole” at that facility.
I looked to the media to expose this injustice, only to discover that a
dog does not bite his master, and “freedom of the press belongs to
whoever owns the press”. It was disappointing to discover the truth
about the black hole a citizen can fall into without any recourse, but I
am a survivor. My only goal is to do God’s Will on this earth with my
life. God has shown me that whatever does not kill me makes me stronger
and even more determined. Perhaps this is what happens every time we need
a technical revolution. I know Alexander Graham Bell was arrested for
peddling telephones, on charges of trying to take advantage of gullible
people, because “everyone knows that you cannot transmit a human voice
over a wire, and, if you could, it would be of absolutely no beneficial
purpose to the people of this country”. I know the Wright Brothers were
ignored and ridiculed by the media and scientific American while they flew
for five years almost every day before they were finally allowed a public
demonstration at Kitty Hawk. Then the important scientists of the day had
to swallow their pride and admit that two mechanics in a bicycle shop had
achieved the goal of their dreams. Dreamers do not quit so easily.
My last reward for trying to bring energy solutions to America was two
years in state prison. This was the most obvious of all possible
illustrations of how important it was to someone important in this society
to stop us. I was actually put into a state prison for two years on a
claim that I had violated a civil code registration without ever to this
day being convicted of that charge! I have never had a trial, nor have I
ever been convicted by any court of that civil code violation. That is an
absolute fact! It was an act that was meant to show me just how much power
the government can wield to stop me if they want to. On June 19, 1992 I
appealed to the United States Supreme Court with a Petition for a Writ of
Certiorari, filed by my attorney, Mr. Bruce Fine. By September 21, 1992,
almost 14 weeks (in fact it was 96 days) later, and 60 days beyond their
final deadline to respond, the State of California had still not responded
to my petition. Perhaps they were too embarrassed.
In a precedent setting action, the U.S. Supreme Court wrote a
letter to the State of California ordering them to object to my petition!
They reluctantly objected with a filed response, whereupon the U.S.
Supreme Court stated that they were too busy to have a hearing over a
little State Civil Code misdemeanor issue, and allowed the State of
California to kidnap me without a conviction. I can only imagine the
politics involved in all of that!
(HERE
IS WHERE THEY STOPPED ME)
I have found this land of free enterprise to be a land not unlike that
encountered by “Alice in Wonderland”. A land of Sasparillias judgments
where a very confusing set of double and even triple standards exist, that
almost make sense when you discover the true agenda. I discovered the hard
way that there is a place above (or at least beyond) the rules where it
needs to make sense behind the scenes. I had to get beyond the illusions
to discern what is real and what is part of the image of America in order
to become effective at making a difference. We have a real energy problem.
It is the same problem of he who rides a tiger. How do we dismount without
getting clawed to death? Yesterday’s answers are today’s problem. But
yesterday’s heroes have become far too connected and influential to be
put out to pasture. How do we make the transition to new technologies
without collapsing the empires that depend upon perpetuating the old ones?
Do we really believe in free enterprise? Can the “new” replace
the “old” without a painful transition? The biggest problem with our
free enterprise system is that it no longer exists! People who dominate
industries become so influential and so “connected” that no one can
compete with them primarily because of who and what their money can buy.
Men do not create, they discover what God has for them… the next step in
our advancement. But, we have not had a next step in a long time in a
whole lot of areas of our existence, because we have been choking off
advancements. The internal combustion engine has “flat lined” for the
past fifty years, as any real engineer will readily admit. Who can force
changes in that industry? Our problem is not that God has stopped talking
to inventors. Our problem is the way we treat them. We have stopped
believing in our own professed way of life, by failing to support
innovators. I am connected to people who have the answers to a lot of the
problems of our sick society, but our “politics” is not very friendly
toward men with solutions. A lot of my friends have been treated the same
way I have. Many have been killed. Even more have been imprisoned and
discredited because they have that better mousetrap, but vested self
interests do not think we need new mousetraps. This is a problem that can
only be resolved by elected officials who have the gumption to defend free
enterprise, or by someone leading the people themselves to push beyond the
veil. It is, after all, the people who are denied the advancements that
God is trying to bring them.
I have come very close to losing all my faith in government officials.
Where does a man with the answers go? Scientists, politicians, the media,
and the legal system, seem to all be so intent on preserving the “status
quo” of Big Business, that there is little choice for those who wish to
“get on with it” except to go directly to the people. The “System”
is just an obstacle to overcome. I came to discuss the solution with you,
and I am grateful for the opportunity to address you. But, I have no
illusions of it making much difference in the way I must proceed. I want
you to know that God will not let the people of this country down. What He
has set free will be free, indeed. He has revealed to us, through much
sacrifice and hard work, a technology that we believe will enable us to
take energy from the magnetic force fields of permanent magnets, and drive
generators of any size without any pollution and without any need for fuel
of any type. This revelation
can be both sweet and sour. As
a youngster, I went joy riding with a teenage friend of mine. We were on a
gravel road out at Roller Coaster Hills, and the car started to skid on
the gravel. My friend, who was driving, slammed on the brakes. His foot
locked on that brake in a death grip, and we continued sliding toward a
cliff. I kicked his foot so hard I almost broke it and he released the
brake, and we lived through the incident. Sometimes, when there is too
much brake being applied, God has to override the brakes. I think if you
are really going to give free enterprise a shot at bailing your state out
of an otherwise tough situation you need to be willing to give
entrepreneurs some gas.
(THIS
IS WHERE I TRIED TO READ AGAIN)
There
is a solution in deregulation. Do not be deceived by the lie being told to
the American people in California. There is no real energy crisis there
that was supposedly created by business people taking unfair advantage of
the poor electric utilities. No business person worth half his salt would
charge his distributor five times what they can get selling his commodity.
Does that make any sense to you? Electricity is a perishable commodity. If
you make it and do not sell it, there is nothing you can do to store it
for later. If a supplier is committed to a power plant to produce
electricity with long term contracts for fuel supplies, he has to produce
it. If he stops producing it, he goes broke. The supply and the
distribution are interdependent for their survival, like two Siamese twins
joined at the hip who share organs. One cannot kill the other without
dying himself. No enlightened individual buys that story about supply
selling wholesale electricity to the power plants for five times their
retail price. God, and those deceivers only know what the true motives
behind what is happening in California are. I suspect it is a plan to try
to get deregulators in other states to set a ceiling on what suppliers can
sell their electricity for. I am egocentric enough to think the gesture is
aimed at our International Tesla Electric Company and for good reasons.
We could put a crimp in their “T&D” con game!
We have a plan to completely take over all production of electricity for
the entire United States within the next five years. We intend to shut
down every fossil fuel polluting or nuclear radiation producing plant in
the entire country at least within this decade. I came to explain that
plan to you,
(THEY
STOPPED ME AGAIN, "NO SALES PRESENTATIONS")
I just summarized the plan after this.
for
what reason, I do not know, except that I was invited and I was not told
by God not to come. For the sake of understanding us, entertain my notion
that we believe that we can produce a device that is about the size of an
air conditioner that will produce 30 kilowatts of continuous electricity
and can be installed at any residence (with the unit to be placed inside
or outside). We also are planning on installing the proper rectifier and
other electronic gear to synchronize our output to the grid and to
regulate our output in accordance with the Phoenix Arizona Grid’s
standards. That is just our design standard. We are currently offering
citizens across the United States and, yes, even in Kansas, that if they
will sign up with us at no cost to them for doing so, we will register
them to get 26,000 kwh of electricity every year, absolutely free, just
for allowing us to use their homes as a power production station.
We will send all the excess electricity produced by the equipment
at these homes, back over the grid to the local power company to be sold
to customers up or down line of them by the utility. Our pledge is to give
the homeowner an allowance of 3 kilowatts per hour on the average (or 72
kwh per day) and send the remainder of what we generate (an average of 27
kwh) back into the grid. Our goal is to be paid for the excess power, and,
after we amortize the hardware, we will make a profit. The amortization of
our hardware can be achieved at a cost of one cent per kilowatt hour. Of
course we intend to actually start putting the electricity into the
hottest market first where we can get the highest premium for the power we
produce. Under no circumstances do we intend to ever charge our countrymen
more than one nickel per kilowatt hour (whether we can get it or not). If
the Kansas electric suppliers refuse to deal with us, or we just cannot
get a good price for the power we produce, we will put a unit intended for
the home of a citizen of Kansas on a home in another state. Then we will
honor our commitment to the homeowner in Kansas by just paying their
electric bill up to the total usage of 26,000 kwh. We will allow the
homeowner who signs up to have their electricity for free for as long as
we can make money with the unit designated for them, hopefully for the
rest of their life!
Since there is no fuel cost for our electricity and one penny per kwh
amortizes the hardware on a five year schedule, no one in the business can
compete with us. There is no coal fired plant that can even get the coal
out of the ground for the cost we could put the power into the grid after
the hardware is amortized, so, after we have given them five years to make
other plans for their coal besides polluting the planet with it, we intend
to lower our prices and drive them out of the pollution business. The same
goes for the oil and gas suppliers. The nuclear power guys need to go
sooner. The government has already made enough radioactive war materials,
so they need to get off that scam and we will go easy on our technology
that can neutralize radioactive waste, which the government already knows
we have the ability to do. Besides, there is no way to amortize a nuclear
power plant within the next five years, and believe me, that’s all the
time there is! Our little home generators put out 30 kilowatts of power
and we can send that power back over 30KVA transformers.
Our national distribution company, United Community Services of America,
has 2,000 dealers nationwide in every state including Kansas. Our dealers
are currently committed to signing up 1,600,000 homeowners for this offer.
Our company has issued over a million free electricity registrations to
our dealers so far. We expect that it will not take long for them to
complete that job. When they have recruited all the residences to receive
a unit, then we intend to have at least several hundred demonstration
homes set up across the country. We intend to hook our devices up to all
these homes, connect the units to the power boxes of those homes, and
disconnect all those homes from their local electric company on the exact
same day, at the exact same time of day. Of course, we intend to notify
all 1.6 million of our witnesses of the location closest to them so they
can be on the lawns of these homes while the final hookups are occurring.
One national church has declared that they will have a TV camera at every
location with one of their pastors present at each site to broadcast each
demonstration, live over satellite. We are planning to give a
demonstration that, unlike the last time in 1988 when we tried to make our
point, will be difficult for people of evil intent to stop. We are
recruiting the people to help us keep their public officials honest this
time. Each of the 1.6 million witnesses will be allowed to go home and
sign up ten people for our home generating plants. The reason for 1.6
million people to grow into 16 million is that by our calculations, 100%
of all the energy needs for this country could be met with 16 million, 30
kwh generators.
Better World Technologies has alternative plans with alternative
power units. We are also working on a Power Wagon. It is a 40 foot trailer
on wheels that will put out ten megawatts of power at 400 KVA. Its
mobility allows it to be
placed on a substation of the grid system anywhere, to augment their power
production where shortages may occur. What we are designing is very
flexible. It can be attached to a home to feed back into the grid or to
the substation of a grid, or just attached to commercial establishments
directly to disconnect them from the grid.
We are trying to avoid doing that. We are trying to remain as
flexible as possible, because we do not know what the electric companies
are going to do and we do not trust them any further than we can throw
them.
We have worked very hard to try to avoid making any of the mistakes of the
past. We are not a public company. We have absolutely no investors or
partners. We have no bank loans. We are a debt free company. We have
commitments to billions of dollars in funding and a plan to get all the
funding we need. Our 2,000
dealers are located in all fifty states and many of them have
manufacturing capability. This time, when we do a demonstration, it will
not be in a room I can be arrested in where the machine can be removed. It
will be on hundreds of homes (at least two per state) at the same time
with so many witnesses at each location it will be impossible to lie
about, or cover up, what it does. The people themselves who get the 16
million units are the biggest beneficiaries of the technology and that is
a lot of self interest. The “People” will be our self interest group.
We have a technology to bypass the grid, and obviously, assuming this
technology does exist, we could give the electric companies big problems
by just disconnecting their customers.
That is why we did an advance show for the Congress of the United States
on March 5th of 1996. We invited every member of the federal
government to that show. All the members of the Senate and House of
Representatives who did not attend the show signed for a copy of the video
of it. We expressed our concern as Americans, and we repeat that concern
now at this assembly, about the potential damage our project could do to
the infrastructure of the United States and to the Republic of Kansas. We
do not want to collapse the grid system or hurt the electric companies. We
do want to stop all the pollution and support free enterprise. We asked
the Congress to deregulate the electric companies across the nation at the
beginning of 1996. We had a discussion with representation from the Energy
Committee of the U.S. Congress. We were thrilled in July of 1996 when they
made the move to deregulate. We look forward to working with, rather than
against the deregulation policies. We realize the danger of a contest
between us and the public utilities. We also realize it is the right of
every free American to either participate in the public utilities or not
to. We could offer them an alternative with or without the deregulation.
But, we are God’s people and God is a God of order. We are also
Americans who love our country in spite of the belief that we have that,
it is at times not well run.
Wanting to see what the resolve of the separate states and their politics
was, as well as wanting to put the scientific community on notice, we did
a tour of the nation in the last three months of 1999. It was very eye
opening. We ran a full page ad in the USA Today newspaper on September 15th
in the front news section. The heading was, “Tired of High Electric
Bills, How About No Electric Bills?” We certainly were not hiding from
anyone. We took some of our technology on that tour and challenged
scientists to come and measure our claims for themselves. The first
sentence of paragraph four of that ad invites all scientists to attend the
show nearest them and bring their own instruments to measure the
equipment. Many, many technical people with instruments at our shows did
take us up on our invitation. We did all 45 of our shows within 60 days at
the rate of 6 shows per week. One presentation was made in Kansas City,
and another in Wichita. At every show we demonstrated a permanent magnet
motor that was doing 3.1 horsepower of work as shown on a calibrated
dynamometer. That is an output of 2,300 watts of power. The meters showed
that we were taking 4.92 amps at 92 volts for an input of 453 watts of
power from the batteries. We also showed a whole lot more. This was
America’s chance to debunk us in front of thousands of witnesses, but we
were not debunked. We did not publicly claim to have the unit completed at
that time. Whether we did or not was not anything we felt the need to
claim. We charge the public nothing to sign up, so they can wait and see
what we present when we are ready to demonstrate the final product on our
terms. Fool me twice, shame on me!
Whether or not anyone legislates in favor of free enterprise,
advanced technology is something that has a way of working itself out. The
bigger question is what will be capsized in its wake. What we are doing is
on its way. We hope to work with the legislators to make the conversion
peaceful and easy. Whatever you decide to do, please consider free
enterprise in the plan and open the grid to us and other entrepreneurs. I
would wholeheartedly recommend against your building any more nuclear
power plants.
We stand ready to work
with the people of the Republic of Kansas to do all that is within our
power to build a better world and a better Republic of Kansas. I am
prepared to answer any questions from the representatives of the people…
Comments
about what happened at the meeting.
They
let me get almost halfway through the speech before the Senate Chairman
interrupted me and asked me if I was ever going to show them our
technology. I replied that I
had not come to demonstrate anything and if they were under the impression
I was, that was a false impression. The
Senator was obviously Embarrassed as was our dealer.
We had about a dozen dealers present at the speech.
I had been given 50 minutes and they stopped me after about 20 of
them. I got to the part where
I questioned the politics involved in the US Supreme Court’s order to
California. I told the
Senator that I could skip ahead so I thumbed forward to our program to
eliminate all oil, gas, or coal plants.
I started reading that part and got interrupted again. “ They
didn’t want no sales pitch!” I
ended up summarizing our plan. Then
they started asking questions. Of
course the first one was when a House member impatiently interrupted and
asked, in a rather gruff manner, are you going to either show us a working
model or tell us how it works? Remember
here, I was asked to come and testify before the Committee, not
demonstrate anything. I
explained the reason for my dialogue was to show them why I had no trust
in government agencies. I
told him we had done two shows at Wichita and Kansas City on our recent
tour and asked if he had attended either.
He told me he had. They had already seen our public demonstration.
Some of them already knew who I was.
Another listener began to inform me that if I would give them one
to test, they would put the weight of the Kansas Congress behind making
sure the world knew about it. I
replied “I would give anything to live in the world he thinks we live
in. This country is not free
and I cannot trust you!” That’s
why I wrote all this to explain all that to you.
I have been there and done that.
We have to go the way we are to avoid all the political “dirty
tricks.” Another
member of the Committee asked me why I had come here to speak if I had no
intentions of proving my technology.
I told them I really had been confused about the invitation, but I
figured what we are doing was important for them to know.
If they are discussing building nuclear or coal fired plants, they
need to know I plan to obsolete them before they are built.
Otherwise they end up eating them.
I believe for them to consider deregulation they need to know about
us. Another member wanted to
know what I wanted them to do for us.
I replied that we really don’t need them to do anything more than
helping us have total access to the grid, we don’t need any money or
special favors. We are
already going directly to the people, but we do need grid access!
He replied that people in
the State presently produce power generated by wind machines, for example,
of 3 kwh per hour or he caught himself and said that 30 kwh wasn’t too
much and that power could be sold back over the grid.
I asked if he meant the Purpa Laws or real access to the grid.
He said, “I mean you can sell it back.”
So I asked him if he could assure me that if we put a unit on 10%
if all the homes in Kansas
we would have no legal problems selling all that power?
He started back pedaling immediately.
He didn’t know anything about what was and was not legal.
I repeated that if he or anyone, could assure me of that point the
trip would have been worth while. We
got no reply to that comment. Then
the Chairman of the House Committee spoke up.
He said “I think we’ve heard enough Mr. Lee.” A lady to his right said “we thank you for coming.
We are sorry for all the things you think happened to you, but none
of it happened in Kansas. We’ve done nothing to hurt you.
We wish you well, but your time is up.”
I still had 18 minutes. The Senator who had invited us expressed
his disappointment that we were not willing to show our technology.
I pointed out the videos. He
told me if he’d known, they could have already watched them.
I encouraged them to watch them now.
My fifty minutes had shrunk to 32 minutes.
I still had time, but they had heard enough.
We were whisked out of the room, but before I left the podium, I
encouraged all present to read the written presentation and to review the
video tapes (the 22 minute Declaration of Energy Independence and 30
minute Christian Testimony tapes).
The lunch scheduled with the Senator who had invited us was suddenly cancelled, as expected. It was clear that I had not found my heroes in Kansas.
So we went to coffee with our dealers and then had lunch.
When we got into our van, our dealer seemed very disappointed.
The outcome was really not what we had wished for. Had this really
been what God wanted us to do? When
we got into the van, Alison picked up a Bible and it fell open at Ezekiel
3--4Then He said to me: "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and
speak with My words to them. 5For you are not sent to a people of
unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6not
to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you
cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have
listened to you. 7But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because
they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and
hard-hearted. 8Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces,
and your forehead strong against their foreheads. 9Like adamant stone,
harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them,
nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house." we
knew we had done his will. We
returned in time for our meeting with the Chairman of the House Committee.
We didn’t have his phone number so we decided to first show up
(expecting him to cancel, too, of course).
It was no surprise when he met us at the door to inform us that he
had to go see the Governor. Something
had come up, but it did shock all of us when he said he would be back by
2:15 if we wanted to come back. We
agreed to. So we waited out
in the hall and quite a few of the people who had been in the meeting
passed by. One lady (a Senator) stopped to talk and to tell us that I
should not have gone on as much about what had happened to me.
I explained that we had not come to get anything from the
Committee. I explained that
they had nothing we wanted, we didn’t need them, but we had what they
were looking for (they did need us).
I asked her if the thought had occurred to her that they blew it
rather than the other way around. I
explained that the Senator had told me they were badly in need of an
industry. Since they are
centrally located, this could have been an ideal location for us to build
and distribute our technology. She
had almost a shocked look on her face.
I don’t think that even occurred
to her that we may have been evaluating them rather than the other
way around. I reminded her
that when they are looking at people they are looking back.
This act of insulting me and not giving me the fifty minutes
allotted, may have cost Kansas an industry.
I had hoped legislators would care about what I was telling them.
She told me she came because like a lot of them, she was very
interested. She assured me
she would read the speech and watch the video.
Another guy (Senator) came by and he apologized.
He said, “you made it a lot
further than many. Sometimes
they just kick people out within a few minutes.
They don’t care where they came from or how far away they
were.” This really
stinks! I came 3000 miles
with my wife and took two days of my time. I am a fairly big frog in my pond, too!?
They can’t even listen for 50 minutes?
Anyway, this Senator told me he’d watch the video and apologized
again for the Committee and left. Then
we saw a Senator (lady) who was one of the three of them who walked out
during my speech. She turned her head and ignored us and walked away.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee’s secretary told our dealer
that there were several of the video tapes in the waste basket at the room
of the meeting. What a
ridiculous way for the people’s representatives to act!
There are going to be a lot of people, who have a lot of crow to
eat when we put these units out there. I hope there are enough crows
to support the demand
Anyway, at 2:30 we decided to just go into the House Chairman’s
office and wait for him. He
was in his office with his secretary.
They had us wait a few minutes and then to go right in.
There was a some small talk about his paintings and then I
explained that the Senator had told me that Kansas needed an industry.
The House Chairman didn’t seem as interested in that.
He didn’t bite! He wanted to talk about what they were going to do to solve
their energy problem. He
explained a lot about what the problem was with natural gas getting
shorter in supply and more expensive.
He explained that their options are very limited.
Building a nuclear power plant seems politically out of the
question, he told us, but he decided that he has no problem with a coal
fired plant. These days an
acceptable level of pollution is whatever you can get away with.
He thought it was a necessary option.
I told him that we have a big problem with coal fired plants that
put sulfur oxides into drinking water, acid rain into the environment, and
contribute to global warming. He
replied that there’s only 20 year s of natural gas left and 300 years of
coal supplies! I told him we
have an alternative that requires no fuel at all.
He then gave us a lecture about renewable Energy Sources.
He taught about photo voltaics, and wind machines.
I replied you need sunlight and wind.
He replied there’s lots of wind in Kansas.
I pointed out it was not a real feasible solution and he agreed.
I went on… there are acceptable alternative energy sources and
non acceptable ones that are not acceptable to the Big Self Interest
Groups. There are ones the
big boys don’t tolerate and those are what we have, but we intend to
bring them with the help of the people whether anyone liked it or not.
We have an alternative no one can compete with.
We can deliver electricity cheaper than they can pay to pull the
coal out of the ground. He
wanted to know if our technology is patented.
I told him we have a form of protection, yes!
He insisted that I tell him if it is patented or not.
I told him we do not have to reveal any patents to him.
He said I legally have to tell him the patent number if it is.
I reminded him I have no unit on the market yet and I am not
required to tell him about a patent until I do.
He seemed to be a little put off that we would not reveal the
technology or even whether or not it was patented.
I told him we had a type of protection, but I could not discuss it
at this time. He reluctantly
accepted that. It was obvious
he wanted to catch me up and try to find out what the technology was.
I told him to think carefully about building any type of power
plant and to give us access to the grid and we will solve the problem in
Kansas. He had to go.
So did we. It was
over!
CONCLUSIONS
BY LEE…
Here
is what is wrong with what happened in Kansas. Here is what is wrong with
what happened in Ventura California. Here is what is wrong with what
happened in the United States Supreme Court. Here is what is wrong… It
was a crime committed by the State and Federal Governments of the United
States against the Constitution of the United States! My people and me
have to pay the price for their violations of the laws of this land and we
continue to pay that price. The BBB across America is now telling everyone
that will listen over TV news programs that I have been to prison as if
that meant something bad about my character. Not only did I have to
unjustly suffer that abuse, but that is not even enough for them. The
media uses this injustice as if it had been justified to continue to beat
the brains out of the victims of it. Well, it is time for a public apology
from this government for the abuse of my constitutional rights and I am
not going to quit until that happens! Shame on elected public officials
who swear oaths to defend the laws of this land and who do not want to
hear that an American citizen was illegally kidnapped by one of the
Republics of these United States! They are suppose to be in those
positions to make sure stuff like this does not happen to the people of
this country, and when there is a claim that it has, the last thing any of
them should do is be bored by having to hear about it! If there was one
person of character at the Kansas hearing, he or she would have spoken out
and said they wanted to hear more about that. Do you know that any member
of the Senate or House can call for a Congressional hearing into this
matter? They can demand that I testify under oath and, if anything I say
is found to be untrue they can hang me. The member of Congress who would
call for a hearing could not lose. If they are able to find me out to be a
liar they can stop me without firing a shot. If they find me out to have
told the truth and then need to correct the United States Supreme Court,
he will be famous, and justice can prevail! The Congress is the one to
check and balance that court by the way. It is just like in what recently
happened in Florida. When the Florida Supreme Court was improperly
interpreting the legislature’s laws, they began to assemble to over rule
their Supreme Court to come to the defense of Bush. When the US Supreme
Court had the ball, the Federal Congress was warming up for the challenge.
The Executive of the Legislative branches are obligated by oath to rise up
and defend a breach in the Constitution. This is a serious claim. It is a
complete abridgment of a citizen’s Constitutional right to due process
for him to be thrown in prison without any trial and without any formal
conviction of the charge. We are not talking here of a technicality, or an
abuse of evidence, or a mistrial. We are talking of no trial and no
conviction under any interpretation of the legal system! Anyone sworn to
uphold the Constitution who knows of such a violation cannot ignore it.
While these legislators are from Kansas, and, I assume sworn to uphold the
Constitution of the Republic of Kansas, Kansas is a member Republic of the
fifty (or at least 48) states. It would be the duty of these
representatives to direct their federal Senators and/or Representatives to
look into the truth of this matter. At the very least, it would be
incumbent upon them to bring it to their attention. I think I need to find
out if the Federal representatives from Kansas have any knowledge of the
facts that I exposed to forty of their State legislators. In fact, I
believe that I need to be in contact with my own Senators and
Representative of New Jersey on this matter. Furthermore, since it
happened in the State of California, all of the legislators in that state
need to be notified and properly informed by their constituents, namely
you… if you are from California. This matter concerns both your State
and Federal officials. California citizens especially need to get a copy
of this speech given before the Kansas legislators in front of their State
Senators and their own representatives in Washington D. C.
We all need to know that our elected officials do not think that it
is alright for an American to be sent to prison without even having been
convicted of a crime. The United States Supreme Court should be forced by
someone in this Republic to tell why, in a precedent setting action, they
ordered the State of California to object to my petition 96 days after
California no longer even had the right to object, and why the highest
court in the land stated that they were too busy to prevent a citizen from
being put in prison without even having been convicted of any violation of
civil or criminal law. If they cannot take their time to defend the right
of a citizen not to be kidnapped by the state without any trial, then they
really are too busy. Someone owes me an official apology! So that the
injustice can finally stop here rather than continuing to beat my
associates and me into the ground as we attempt to build a better world. I
do not intend to stop until everyone who has the responsibility to make
correct this has decided to either live up to their oath or have chosen to
ignore that sacred duty and then I will surrender this to God Almighty for
Him to judge those involved in this. By the way, this involves you. If
this can happen to me it can happen to you, and keeping me from bringing
life giving technologies to you has already hurt each and every one of
you! Have YOU ever raised your hand (as an oath under God) and sworn
allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the
REPUBLIC for which it stands as ONE nation UNDER GOD, indivisible, with
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL? That is a sacred oath to defend liberty and
justice for all. I am hoping you meant it.
Imagine a Jon Galt like
character among you right now, with all there is to offer the people of
these United States, who is determined to have justice here. If you read
“Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, you will get a clear picture of what is
going on in this country right now. There is no character in that book you
cannot see in action in this country right now. The sentiment of that book
that is warning us about the sickness of socialism will pop right out at
you and you can see where free enterprise is going right now, today! There
is a price the Jews had to pay for failing to return to their roots, and
to the God who set them free. We are no less stiff necked a people and we
were set free by the same God who hardened Pharaoh’s heart. There is a
price that everyone must pay when we do not insist that our leaders turn
from their greed and avarice at least long enough to defend the most basic
rights and privileges of God’s people. We cannot tolerate the unjust
imprisonment of even one of our fellows much less the murder of hundreds
of inventors who have done nothing but listen to the whispers of God
intended to make all our lives better! We do not seek to topple, or over
throw the laws of the land, we seek to defend them! What each of us do as
our part of this system will determine that. I urge you to get the facts
before your federal congressional representatives and let them be
convicted either to be spurred into action to fulfill their oath to defend
the Constitution, or to ignore that responsibility and suffer the
consequences of their inaction. I do not want to release them to God for
His judgment without a fair and just conviction. So far the media,
electric monopolies, and the legal system all the way up to the Supreme
Court have been tested. Right now either the Legislative or Executive
branches of government can correct this injustice. I think it will be very
interesting if they decide to ignore their responsibility. By the way, I
am ready to speak before any state or federal legislative body who wants
to listen to what I have to say. I am also interested in bringing an
industry to the state that is willing to deal with this in a proper
manner.
THE
END!
