Default Power Sources

I cannot help feeling that Dean Kemen would have been well able to power the Segway with either flywheel technology or a flywheel/Stirling combination at launch.
I am sure the reason this did-not happen was the resrictions placed upon him by the power industries. These guys are very powerful (sorry for the pun) and would not wish to see their revenues vanish overnight
which is will would happen once small cheep power gernators become available.
As usual the big guys look after number-one and never-mind the larger picture. Our dependeny on oil exported by countries who have other agenders than our own and global warming come to naught beside share prices and profit margins.
The real question is how can Dean overcome this problem.
Any thoughts?

I believe in nothing but the holiness of the heart's desire and the truth of imagination ';^)>
