Brian O'Leary Rallies New Energy Movement Conference
Opening speaker Sept. 25, 2004 pumps audience to courageous forge ahead
in pariah science today that will be the mainstay of tomorrow. First of
two presentations given by O'Leary at the conference.
"We recognize that the single most highly leveraged
opportunity for advancement toward solving complex global problems lies in a
transformation in the way human civilization generates and utilizes
energy."

Dr. Brian O'Leary could be described as astronaut, college professor or
political energy advisor, but the best title to give him is iconoclast.
Excommunicated from the priesthood of science for his study of New Energy, he is
the founder of the New Energy Movement organization and was the opening
speaker for their flagship conference in Portland, Oregon this weekend, Sept
26th and 27th.
O'Leary quoted Mignon McGlauflin, "Society honors its live conformists and
dead troublemakers." Dr. O'Leary, obviously headed for future fame, quipped
that New Energy scientists seem to have a shortened life expectancy. He sobered
quickly and was visibly moved while honoring Gene Mallove, murdered in May.
Mallove, champion of cold fusion, is the epitome of the New Energy Movement's
motto: "We recognize that the single most highly leveraged opportunity for
advancement toward solving complex global problems lies in a transformation in
the way human civilization generates and utilizes energy."
Dr. O'Leary, listing broad global challenges such as war, pollution and
population growth, declared we must "muster the courage to change" and
that the only true solution to our gravest problems is a broad based social
movement. Warming to his theme and true to his iconclastic nature he said,
"We must dissolve the myths that hold us back as a civilization. There are
NO laws in physics. There is no Second Law of Thermodynamics. There are only
theories, and the theories need to be changed to match the facts."
The audience roared and clapped its approval for several minutes and O'Leary
smiled over the crowd, satisfied they knew the truth of his statement. He listed
other myths that must be done away with, such as, "If New Energy were real,
we'd have it by now," and "There is one magic bullet". He scoffed
that "extraordinary claims do not need extraordinary proof; they need
reasonable proofs like ever other theory".
Dr. O'Leary opined that the average citizen trusts the free market to introduce
energy solutions on a timely basis. "It hasn't and it won't until the
people clamor for it."
The last myth he wished to see dissolved is that the US government is going to
do the research and development needed to solve the energy problems. Quoting
Bertrand Russell, he said, "The resistance to a new idea increases as the
square of its importance."
Dr. O'Leary charmed the audience with his enthusiasm and anti-establishment
rhetoric. He was cheered as he threw down his final gauntlet, "Let's have a
positive 'terra-ist' attack and let's plan it now!" Brian O'Leary's fiery
delivery and in-your-face attitude was a perfect opener for the New Energy
Movement which dares to take on the biggest icon of all -- oil.
