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.
No doubt that even if someone did come up with a way to take advantage of the Earth's electromagnetic energy potentials, it would be suppressed by the same people who keep these weapons a secret.
I feel like, if this information were free to the public, it would open up a dialogue which would bring New Age, metaphysics, things like the Ra material in from the fringes. After all, if you bring up the idea of "subtle energy" to an established scientist, they would probably laugh in your face and you'd be cast out from any sort of legitimate academia.
I think Zen nailed it saying that our capitalist mindset wouldn't really allow free energy to manifest in our reality. We're born into this system and it is ingrained in our psyche from day one. No doubt many, many people hold some sort of "capitalist bias" that would prevent free energy from being a reality.
You guys every read/watch The Watchmen? This idea is uncannily similar to the scene where the corporate bigheads are accusing Ozymandias of being a communist for wanting to provide free energy. I feel like a lot of that book was intuited from a grander source than just vivid imagination.
