Sure it would close down refineries and oil wells, but thats a small price for free energy.
Really if I wanted to invent a plausible reason for suppressing alien technology it would be due to the danger they might pose, not because of the economy. If it was very easy to turn your 'Mr. Fusion' into a 'Mr. Fusion Bomb' then there would be a legitimate reason to suppress it, but that angle is rarely advanced. I think the reason for it is that the concept of the government protecting its citizens and the world from direct harm is boring. Its much more sexy to be talking about deeply woven conspiracies.

The thing is, coal and oil form the backbone of global transportation and energy delivery. It's a multi-trillion dollar industry, and by far the most profitable one in the world. If you replaced it with wireless transmitters, millions of people across the globe would be out of work and would not have the training to join the new paradigm. The massive unemployment would lead to financial chaos and civil instability. Or so we're told.

I'm not sure what thats suppose to prove. Its writing style reminds me of conspiracy or communist web sites where they attempt to confuse the issue using vocabulary the average reader will not understand in order 'overwhelm' the reader into assuming their assumptions are correct by making the reader feel inadequate of understanding. The difference is that unlike a conspiracy or communist site, where I do understand the vocabulary, this one I do not. Too many acronyms and " This paper summarizes how electrodynamics and gravitation are coupled in a Hamiltonian formulation followed by an appropriate quantization scheme." type of articles. Mind you I am not a stupid man but I am not a physicist, as such I can't tell if the papers are either highly technical or just technobable worthy of star trek. In that I will reserve judgment.

Deyo actually did an interview with those guys, and he uses a lot of analogies to explain what's going on:

It's an audio interview, about 45 minutes long. He also has a presentation floating around on Google Video that has more examples and analogies.

What I don't see is how this ties in with an alien technology. If I take it at face value, something I am very skeptical about and perhaps I will do a bit of research into the site itself for fun, its simply a lot of theoretical physics. The fact that I don't understand it doesn't make it alien based, most people wouldn't understand my 'language' I use at work to do my job either.

Deyo mentions the connections in the interview above, connections he seems less hesitant to make than in 1977.
But I do agree that we're straying from the topic. For some interesting testimony on UFOs, I would direct your attention to
