Each year, corporate leaders, philanthropists, heads of innovation and XPRIZE Trustees gather for a multi-day Visioneering meetup to brainstorm, debate, and prioritize which of the worlds Grand Challenges might be solved through incentivized competition. Excerpt: XPRIZE is a nonprofit founded by futurist Peter Diamandis which offers prizes to incentivize innovation. Below is a video clip from this year’s XPRIZE “Visioneering Workshop” at which the conferencees voted that “Forbidden Energy” should be what the prize should be for this year. XPRIZE board member Barry Thompson explains that today there is an ‘inquisition of scientific mindsets’ that is holding back breakthroughs in science. He mentions that scientists consider that energy sources like cold fusion, zero-point energy are possible, but that in reality no one can investigate it in academia because of blacklisting and a code of silence surrounding these unpopular topics. This year XPRIZE is offering $20 million to the first team that can produce ‘substantive energy generation’ from an ‘entirely new method’ twice in two weeks. In history, this is likely to be recognized as perhaps the most significant development in exotic free energy this year.
