The nation's energy industry is struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina. Gas prices are soaring as a result of the catastrophic storm. America's reliance on overseas oil increases every year.
And from his office in the North Bay city of Sebastopol, Mark Goldes envisions a day -- perhaps not so far off -- when none of this will be a problem.
Goldes, 73, is chief executive of a small company called Magnetic Power Inc., which has spent years researching ways to, yes, generate power using magnets.
Within a few months, he says, he might just have a breakthrough to report that could revolutionize where people get fuel.

There are a lot of renewable energy source technologies out there that do work such as solar panels and wind mills, but none of these technologies can fill the power needs that oil currently produces. When we do hit an energy crisis because of oil (it's not when we run out but when pass the peak production), we will need an alternative energy source. Will zero-point energy be this alternative or do you think there is another alternative out there to meet the world's needs?
