[edit] Energy Generation?

Quoting the tail end of the article:

The types of inventions classified under this Act is itself a secret, but presumably include a wide range of cutting-edge technologies that are related to energy generation, munitions and explosives, cryptography, aerospace transportation and electronics.

Over time many secrecy orders have been lifted (this fact itself should be included). Is there one example of a secrecy order being put on anything related to "energy generation"? One inference many readers might make from this reference is that the government is classifying real 50 mpg carburetors or perpetual motion machines, presumably to favor the "powers that be". Wikipedia should not encourage such speculation. -Wfaxon 18:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I changed it to reflect what is known rather than speculation. Most of them are weapons-related patents, cryptography patents, and other things of that nature. --Fastfission 13:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
