I guess it gets into the conspiracy question currently being discussed in the Fukushima thread, but I'm guessing that many more than Tesla have come up with innovations that would have led us towards free energy. I'm pretty sure that since World War II (at least) all such breakthroughs have been carefully vetted and restricted for use by the national security apparatuses of our country and others. And not necessarily only for negative reasons -- as you point out, the destructive potentials of free energy are enormous, not only in criminal but also in military applications. As Ra said, the energy is not truly available for either the positive or the negative.
