The patent describes a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft” claimed to be capable of truly extraordinary feats of speed and maneuverability in air, water, and outer space alike thanks to a revolutionary electromagnetic propulsion system. To say the patent Dr. Pais was awarded is interesting would be underselling it by a few orders of magnitude. The “Drive's piece” digging into the “UFO” shows that the patent claims the craft can “engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level.” Ignoring the inertia and mass of an aircraft while it is traveling isn't a thing that can be done in physics - at least in our current understanding of science … The patent was rejected the first time around. He predicts the technology "will become a reality."

The list of human rights violations due to ISDS is long. Now these treaties are found to choke the energy revolution. The Netherlands face an ISDS decision after their ban of coal-based power generation until 2030. Coal companies like RWE in Germany are rewarded. RWE demands 1.5 billion euros of indemnification for their coal power plants. Italy has already left the Energy Charter Treaty for Rockhopper sueing Italy because it was not allowed to drill for oil in the Adriatic Sea. Tell more EU member states to leave the Energy Charter Treaty! A solution would require a majority of member states to abandon the treaty.
