I never heard of conflicting ideas being held back or promoted merely on a political basis.

Edison's publicity campaign
Edison carried out a campaign to discourage the use[11] of alternating
current, including spreading information on fatal AC accidents, publicly killing
animals, and lobbying against the use of AC in state legislatures. Edison
directed his technicians, primarily Arthur Kennelly and Harold P. Brown,[12] to
preside over several AC-driven executions of animals, primarily stray cats and
dogs but also unwanted cattle and horses. Acting on these directives, they
were to demonstrate to the press that alternating current was more
dangerous than Edison's system of direct current.[13] Edison's series of
animal executions peaked with the filmed electrocution of Topsy, a Coney
Island circus elephant. He also tried to popularize the term for being
electrocuted as being "Westinghoused".
Edison opposed capital punishment, but his desire to disparage the system of
alternating current led to the invention of the electric chair. Harold P. Brown,
who was at this time being secretly paid by Edison, constructed the first
electric chair for the state of New York in order to promote the idea that
alternating current was deadlier than DC.[14]
When the chair was first used, on August 6, 1890, the technicians on hand
misjudged the voltage needed to kill the condemned prisoner, William
Kemmler. The first jolt of electricity was not enough to kill Kemmler, and only
left him badly injured. The procedure had to be repeated and a reporter on
hand described it as "an awful spectacle, far worse than hanging." George
Westinghouse commented: "They would have done better using an axe."
Tesla’s Free Energy Inventions Supressed | Tesla Inventions | The Green Optimistic
Tesla’s free-energy concept was patented in 1901 as an “Apparatus for the
Utilization of Radiant Energy.” The patent refers to “the sun, as well as other
sources of radiant energy, like cosmic rays,” that the device works at night is
explained in terms of the night-time availability of cosmic rays. Tesla also
refers to the ground as “a vast reservoir of negative electricity.”
Tesla received two patents for this radiant energy device; U.S. Patent No.
685,957 - Apparatus for the Utilization of Radiant Energy and U.S. Patent No.
685,958 - Method of Utilizing Radiant Energy. Both these patents were filed
on March 21, 1901 and granted on November 5, 1901. In these patents he
explains:
The Earth’s Electrostatic Charge
Tesla’s intent was to condense the energy trapped between the earth and
its upper atmosphere and to transform it into an electric current. He pictured
the sun as an immense ball of electricity, positively charged with a potential
of some 200 billion volts. The earth, on the other hand, is charged with
negative electricity. The tremendous electrical force between these two
bodies constituted, at least in part, what he called cosmic energy. It varied
from night to day and from season to season but it is always present.
The positive particles are stopped at the ionosphere and between it and the
negative charges in the ground, a distance of 60 miles, there is a large
difference of voltage - something on the order of 360,000 volts. With the
gases of the atmosphere acting as an insulator between these two opposite
stores of electrical charges, the region between the ground and the edge of
space traps a great deal of energy. Despite the large size of the planet, it is
electrically like a capacitor which keeps positive and negative charges apart
by using the air as a non-conducting material as an insulator.

Nikola Tesla's free energy plan // Current
Telsa's energy plan was stifled by other industries who felt threatened by the
commercial implications of his ideas, the implications being free energy for everyone,
and non-reliance on industry as a result Jp Morgan also withdrew his investments!
Nikola Tesla determined that waves of energy in the earth could be used to transmit power
to any point on the globe. in laboratory tests he successfully demonstrates the
illumination of wireless lamps miles away from his laboratory.
Nikola Tesla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1900, with US$150,000 (51 % from J. Pierpont Morgan), Tesla began
planning the Wardenclyffe Tower facility. In June 1902, Tesla's lab operations
were moved to Wardenclyffe from Houston Street. The tower was finally
dismantled for scrap during World War I.[70] Newspapers of the time labeled
Wardenclyffe "Tesla's million-dollar folly". In 1904, the US Patent Office
reversed its decision and awarded Guglielmo Marconi the patent for radio, and
Tesla began his fight to re-acquire the radio patent. On his 50th birthday in
1906, Tesla demonstrated his 200 hp (150 kW) 16,000 rpm bladeless turbine.
During 1910–1911 at the Waterside Power Station in New York, several of his
bladeless turbine engines were tested at 100–5000 hp.
Earlier, Tesla alone was rumored to have been nominated for the Nobel Prize
of 1912. The rumored nomination was primarily for his experiments with tuned
circuits using high-voltage high-frequency resonant transformers.
In 1915, Tesla filed a lawsuit against Marconi attempting, unsuccessfully, to
obtain a court injunction against Marconi's claims. After Wardenclyffe, Tesla
built the Telefunken Wireless Station in Sayville, Long Island. Some of what
he wanted to achieve at Wardenclyffe was accomplished with the Telefunken
Wireless. In 1917, the facility was seized and torn down by the Marines,
because it was suspected that it could be used by German spies.

The life story & work of Nikola Tesla. He invented AC electricity, Neon Lights,
Radio transmission, The Electric motor, Wireless electricity transfer, Remote
control, Hydraulics, Lasers, Space weapons, Robotics, & many, many more
things.As Tesla claimed to have invented a way to harness free energy from
the voltage difference in the ionosphere that causes lighning, he was seen as
a threat to the world energy economy & most of his inventions were
classified for national securtiy by the US govenment.A lot of his discoveries in
physics have not been released to the public, depsite being invented nearly
100 years ago. Other technologies not yet released to the public include
HAARP Elecromagnetic technology & high energy directed particle beams used
in space weapons.
