&gt; Getting paid for power and getting enough seed money to build more generators does involve convincing people,<p>He is clearly not trying to convince anyone serious by disallowing scientists to measure using their own equipment and on their own terms and conditions. Energy production is not hard to measure and people have been metering electrical enenergy for many decades now.<p>So far is obstructing and preventing such scrutiny. He is trying to convince only rich people to give him money.
