"you quite simply cannot state what the sun is with such certainty, we don't know."

If it was possible to build a multi-million dollar business from scratch then everyone would be doing it, wouldn't they?
No, most people are far too lazy and/or stupid and lack the self confidence to do it. It's quite possible if that is your goal and you are willing and able to work for it. The richest guys I know started with nothing.
The laws of classical physics only apply to how the world appears on the surface, and we are still making discoveries that seemingly contradict previous theories.
Yes, sometimes theories of physics are contradicted, the laws of physics, like conservation of energy, are never contradicted.
Burning wood puts a lot of particulates into the air but it is carbon neutral.
No, Tesla wanted to transmit electricity wirelessly and he was able to do so, he harnessed the power of Niagara falls, hydroelectric was the source. The problem with wireless transmission is that you could not meter it, you are basically broadcasting electricity, anyone could receive it. Obviously that is not a sound business plan and that's why his funding was pulled. Fun fact about Tesla, since he owned the patent on AC he was receiving a royalty of $1 for each kilowatt hour of AC power. He choose to give up his royalty because otherwise AC electricity would have been too expensive for mass adoption.
Cold fusion is a technology that is always 10 years away.
