Stop being nay sayers.
Stop being stupid.
Bernoulli's Principle was around for over a hundred years before heavier than air craft. There was no surprise when the Wright brothers were able to build a successful airplane in terms of physics. We're talking about the first law of thermodynamics that has been around for over 150 years. It has stood under the scrutiny from classical physics through modern quantum dynamics.
As for the whole government conspiracy, do you really think that our government, or any government for that matter, wants to be dependent upon foreign powers? To power our nation, economy, and military we have to spend billions on natural resources from countries that are often unstable and rather hostile. If Washington had the choice between self-sufficiency and giving a country millions of dollars that openly calls the US president a devil...
Hydrogen or whatever its equivalent is not the end of big oil. There still needs to be processing plants to produce the fuel, there still needs the infrastructure to transport and store it both of which the oil industry has the infrastructure and capital to create. Even if all the vehicles on the road ran on biofuel, who do you think is going to be processing and transporting that fuel? We also use oil for more than gasoline or diesel. Every plasic is derived from petroleum, as are asphalt and synthetic rubber. The next big energy and fuel source is not going to kill off the oil industry. Just like how oil did not kill coal, and coal did not kill charcoal, and etc.
