  3. Climate Change on Earth Approaching Tipping Point Say Scientists · · Score: 0

    Seriously, a tipping point?

    Really? On _whos_ authority is this announcement being made?

    Are these the same people being funded by the promise of a new global TAX nicely disguised as a central authority of the Bank of England/IMF to fund a world governing authority?

    Lets see... so far what these people at the IMF, and research agencies have been doing to research this idea of climate change by man:

    1) IMF rules on Carbon Trading. (Because we can stop Climate change if we have complete control over your currency. No really. The computer models say so.)
    2) Al Gore setting up exchanges to handle the billions of taxes to be collected by the people in huts in Africa.
    (i.e. to make sure they stay in those huts and _DIE_)
    3) Huge Global Climate conferences....complete with attendies like Soros, Gates, Al Gore,....Oh...and maybe a scientist here and there in the peanut gallery.
    (No doubt, with Al Gore playing his FAKE FILM of all the polar bears dieing because you are using your laptop right now to login to Slashdot.)

    You know, I look at all of these people about climate change and come to one conclusion:

    They represent humanity perfectly....as a bunch of spoiled immature brats.

    You know, the kids who don't want to leave home and the parents can't get rid of them and refuse to leave home because they get everything for nothing.

    Which is what the 1% do get on this planet. They get everything free.

    If any of these people were serious about global warming, or climate change or any sort of climate change. They would be doing the following:

    1) Building human arcologies, self contained cities that do not interact with the environment. We _EASILY_ have the technology to do this.
    Not going to happen because it means deployment of new technology that 1% do not want you to have otherwise they will not be 1% anymore.

    2) Building a extremely vigorous space program. We have the technology to live and work in space. It is not being developed anymore beyond tin cans fitted together with some solar panels on them. Rockets are SOOOOOOOOooooooo nostalgic...really people they are. But advances in ElectroMagnetics/Gravitics (Gravity applications in electro magnetics) point to a better way.

    If these BRATS would have used the 17 Trillion on research of this sort, instead of propping up a corrupt banking system in EU and the United States, yes Virginia, we really could go to Alpha Centauri and back for a really grand Lunch Hour Tour. No, its not a dream....it is a engineering problem and like any engineering problem with amounts like 17 Trillion being dropped on a problem...IT CAN BE SOLVED. Along the way, the technologies that would spin off from us liberating ourselves from the planet would be GOD LIKE.

    Not going to happen. Why do you think that is? Because by definition, if we became space faring the resources of outerspace would make money _obsolete_. Society would convert to a meritocracy, and contribution based on work, research and knowledge resources would essentially be...THE ENTIRE F'ING UNIVERSE.
    The 1% who attend these Climate Change conferences would never want something like that. I mean, they would be forced to actually contribute something to society and solve a problem vs them being the blood sucking leaches that they are now.

    You know I wonder if the GAIA hypothese is true, The Earth is probably wondering, if it is alive like some people think....why are these little brats with the big brains _STILL_HERE_?

    Have you ever stopped to think that climate change is a _SIGNAL_ to get the GET OUT OF THE EARTH HOUSE, to the species named homo sapians?

  21. Nuclear Power and the lies. on Japan To Be Without Nuclear Power After May 5 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    After spending several years discussing a wide variety of issues with Engineering departments at various Universities about Nuclear Power I came to some conclusions:

    1) Nuclear power is sort of a term that needs to be described, as more than one possibility. When you think of Nuclear power, you think of Uranium. That simply isn't the case, there are alternatives, including the most promising, which is Thorium.

    2) A decision was made a long time ago, by the government, that Uranium would be the only nuclear power that would be acceptable. This was for cold war reasons, because Plutonium was required for Nuclear weapons.

    3) Besides the by products of Plutonium, to make weapons, there was huge private interests in the University community and research that also had a part to play to insure the Uranium route was the path that the United States would follow.

    These three realizations of the historic Cold War, Military and Private institutional interests is why Nuclear Power is in the horrible state it is in today.

    However, the technology has come quite a long way since the 1950's and through various advancements in materials and ceramic technologies, Uranium power no longer has any advantages economically over Thorium based Nuclear Power plants.

    Besides the problem of refinement and fuel quantity is much more desirable with Thorium than it is with uranium.

    Thorium process technology does away with any sort of explosion, beyond steam, that might occur at a Nuclear Thorium based power plant.

    Including the generation of huge clouds of hydrogen, which as we see at Fukishima, blew highly radioactive parts of the building and infrastructure into half a mile trajetcories all around the plant with the explosions it created when the zirconium casings were melting around the fuel rods in contact with water, producing gigantic releases of Hydrogen gas.

    Thorium is now a very viable energy alternative and with the advancements in ceramics in recent decades, all of the engineering issues are much more easily handled. Cost is competitive, to operate as compared to Uranium plants.

    So as I have been watching the news, I have been wondering why such countries as Iran who is just really beginning on a energy program for their nations, would want to go the Uranium route? Why not just switch to Thorium?

    My personal opinion about the Iran bomb issue, is WHO CARES. I mean lots of countries have the bomb, even wacko's like North Korea who constantly broadcasts every day it will turn the South Koreans into a sea of fire....blah blah...for the past several decades.

    So I don't see Iran with a bomb any different that Iran without a bomb. Like most countries , Iran primarily do these things for national reasons. Anyone foolish enough to actually use one will be turned into a glass parking lot. Historically this line of thought seems to prevent their use....even through the nearly tragic 1960's with the cuban missile crisis. This keep in mind was all through the big terrorist years of 1980's with the CIA even back then publishing papers that the Soviets would use Syrian nationals to plant suitcase size nukes in large US cities.

    Never materialized, although today it is Al Queda that would be doing such things....just another boogey man in my opinion.

    So I am glad to see Japan put down the Uranium Nuclear option, but the country should reconsider Thorium.

    I am also aware, through various research, that there seems to be a strong international reproach, mainly from the U.N. and NATO, to restrict or discourage any sort of discussion or idea of Thorium options for power and to keep them out of the press. (Forbid to publish.) Now, it is in my own mind clear why this would be the case. If the world went Thorium, Nuclear weapons would be a _very_ hard proposition indeed without Nuclear fuel.
